What's Going on at SGBC?

Originally written to headquarter his missionary trip to Spain, Paul's letter to the church in Rome was intended to explain the gospel of God he was taking to the Gentiles to the ends of the earth.

Join us on Sunday mornings for our current preaching series on The Gospel of God: An Expositional Series Through the Book of Romans. Pastor Kurt Smith began preaching through this letter in November of 2006. The most recent manuscripts of these sermons are available on our website, with audio downloads coming soon.




Sunday Evenings @ 6:00 pm

Shepherding a Child's Heart is about how to speak to the heart of your child. Bringing deep biblical principals to the task of parenting and concentrating on what is going on inside a child rather than just their outside behavior. This series teaches you...

• What your goals as a parent ought to be and how to pursue those ends practically.
• How to engage children about what really matters.
• How to address your child's heart by your words and actions.
• How communication and discipline work together when parents love wisely.
• How your objectives shift as infants grow into children and as children grow into teenagers.

Shepherding a Child's Heart will humble you, and inspire you to become a different kind of parent. It will teach you how by precept and example.

Wednesday Evenings @ 7:00 pm

The holiness of God has been obscured, and, consequently, the church’s doctrine and ethics have been tarnished. Entertainment has replaced worship in many places, the Gospel is misunderstood and neglected, and the church assimilates itself to the culture instead of seeking to transform it through the preaching of God’s Word. If the church is to regain her saltiness, something must be done. Ligonier Ministries' 2009 National Conference, The Holiness of God, looks at Scripture’s teaching on God’s holiness and how it affects our worship, doctrine, and personal walk with Christ. This expanded conference also features a mini-conference on the life and influence of John Calvin, whose 500th birthday we celebrate in 2009. Dr. Sproul is joined by other Christian scholars, pastors, and leaders, including Thabiti Anyabwile, Alistair Begg, Don Carson, Ligon Duncan, Sinclair Ferguson, Robert Godfrey, Steven J. Lawson, Al Mohler, R.C. Sproul Jr., and Derek Thomas, to proclaim and defend the holiness of God.
