Mission News
Many of the church family at SBC are involved in both long and short-term mission overseas. Here, however, we will keep you updated with all of the exciting things that are coming up in the life of the church, as well as what is happening in different parts of the world!
The World Mission Team at SBC is a small group of people accountable to the whole church for keeping the congregation in touch with the folk and societies that we feel the Lord wants us to support.
In 2006, we worked on a strategy that would enable us to know who we were supporting, and why. This freed us from the temptation to take on too much, and allowed us to say to those who wanted us to stretch our limited financial resources that we would stand by in prayer, but that we had identified those groups that the church had undertaken to support monetarily.
To achieve this, we prayed for guidance and subsequently felt that we should support some Kingdom work that related to the body, the mind and the spirit. Hoping to spread interest also in different continents, we acknowledged that we already supported a work in Cambodia (SAO), also Bible translation in Russia (Wycliffe), both of these organisations being represented by SBC families. The persecuted church needed to be represented in some way and, as we had a very young man, still a schoolboy, burdened to support Christian Solidarity Worldwide, it was right that the church should encourage him and include CSW as part of our commitment. As part of our ongoing responsibility to relief work and the fight against poverty, we also regularly support Tear Fund. 
Feba, the outreach by radio, is based in nearby Worthing, and it is our delight and priviledge to maintain links with them which have been fostered by keen interest on the part of "Oasis", our group for the retired members of the congregation.
