New Life and Baptism

Sunday June 28th was another special day in the journey of SBCC as we were privileged to baptize 9 as followers of Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus set forth baptism as an ordinance for his church, an act of obedience and devotion. It's clear in the New Testament that those who were followers of the Risen Lord Jesus were baptized in his name. They wanted to be identified as having trusted him as their Savior and Lord. Kind of like today people wear sports jerseys or other articles of clothing expressing their allegiance to a particular team or player.

In similar manner, when we realize our need for a savior from sin and place our trust in Jesus Christ who alone is able to forgive sin, we then seek to follow him. In being baptized we are declaring for those watching, we belong to Jesus and he is our savior. Here at StoneBridge we practice baptism by immersion. It's a picture, an illustration if you will, of Jesus death and resurrection.

So we rejoice with those who gave their story of being rescued by Christ, delivered from old habits. Of Jesus giving people a clean heart and a fresh start. Of the God of the 2nd chance, giving us another opportunity.

Kids Rock Camp

This past week the children had a fantastic week at VBS. Every night was filled with fun and adventure, centered around the life of the Apostle Peter. The kids learned how much Jesus loves them and wants to make something really special of their life. It was so neat to see the smiles and hear the laughter of kids and adults alike.

I want to thank Jayna and Kristi and their team of adults who made this such a fun week. We believe 4 children made a profession of faith in Jesus this past week. It really is neat to observe the body of Christ rise us and make a difference in the life of someone else. When we serve the Lord and he uses us to touch another heart, only he knows the difference that will come as a result of this.


I believe that as a church reaches out to children, seeks out students, loves them, helps them to grow in their life with God, trains & provides them with meaningful opportunities to serve God, God will in turn bless that church body. For Jesus demonstrated his love for kids and we're at our very best whenever we imitate Christ!
