Need Help?

One thing that Jesus very clearly promised is that life as a Christian would not be easy. He said clearly "In this world you will have trouble". But he didn't finish there. He went on to say "But I have overcome the world." And so we know that when we face difficulty we are able to find the answers we need in Jesus.

However, sometimes it's hard to bring your situation to Him, or you may just be confused about what is best in your situation. These pages provide information on key areas where you may want help, wish to know more, or want to find someone who can come alongside you to help you. In this area of the website you will find information on the following areas:

Of course, there are so many more areas where you may need help. Don't hesitate to contact us if you cannot find what you are looking for in these pages.

Care
In Col 3:12-17 we are presented with a wonderful picture of what the love and care of a fellowship of God's people in a local church should be like. It should involve every one of the church, without exception, in a beautiful network of love in which we are to:
- Bear with each other's weaknesses, forgiving one another without question
- Love deeply, as Jesus loved us, being united in purpose and love
- See the peace of God rule over all we do, constantly thankful for one another in Christ
- Teach one another from His word, admonishing with love and encouraging each other
- Do everything in His name for His glory as His servants
This is the standard by which we are judged to be a church which is truly His church.

It is this standard that underpins all we do as we seek to love and care for one another. We expect that each person joining the fellowship to understand that SBC is not about our preferences or desires, but about God's purpose, His name and all for His glory.
Life events

Life is delineated by significant events. The day of our birth, our coming of age, the day of a wedding, the birth of a child or grandchild, the loss of a parent or loved one.

These are all poignant times. They are times of great celebration or great sadness. And they are times that can have a huge impact on each one of us.

Although the church fellowship is not only there for times such as these, yet these are time when we often need the support of the church fellowship or want to share our joy with those in the church fellowship.

In these pages you will find out more of how we can be with you in these particular times of joy or sadness, and will seek to help you find peace and joy in Jesus, our Good Shepherd, who longs to guide you through great times and difficulty and work amazing things in your life through these times.
