Our Mission:
To be a vibrant church community.
Passionate disciples of Christ.
Empowering and equipping our people to share the love and joy of Jesus to all.
The new SBLC logo was launched on Sunday 29th September at the combined SBLC service, held at Faith Junior Campus.
Following a brief provided by the SBLC Governance Council, designer Sam Rosenzweig has created a simple but memorable logo, which balances visual appeal with versatility. Sam’s love for Jesus, his keen understanding of branding and communication, combined with his ability to translate ideas into visuals have resulted in a logo that can be used across various applications.

We are half-way through this enthralling study on Rabbi Saul / the Apostle Paul!
You are still welcome to join in this modern ‘School of the Apostles’ as we delve further into Paul’s adventures.
We will look at how Rabbi Saul adapts to the non-Jews, through some of his first-hand reports - Paul in Europe, a tale of three cities.
Pastor Richard has authored an excellent resource book on Rabbi Saul / Apostle Paul, ‘I am Turkish’, available through Barossa Ark.

“Faith Under Fire”. Sunday 6 October at 7 pm. Still just $5 which includes popcorn and a drink
After an exhausting night saving a young girl from a raging house fire, Fireman Tom Hatcher is at the end of his rope.
He couldn’t save his wife from cancer, and worse yet, his 6-year-old daughter, Tiffany, is now facing the same possible fate.
When he finds himself in a cold jail cell after attacking a pastor out of frustration with a seemingly absent God, Tom begins to reflect on his own downward spiral into despair.
But with the help and persistent friendship of the very man he assaulted, Tom is challenged to face his grief and embrace faith in the darkest hours of his life.
