C3 Small Group Summit

What is your PLACE in the mission that Jesus has given us?

It’s always good to remind ourselves of our mission…To exalt Christ by fostering an environment that allows people to become mature, authentic followers of Jesus Christ. (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-47; 2 Tim. 2:2)

How are you participating in the mission? We are so thankful for the small group ministry the Lord has raised up here at Silverdale to help accomplish our mission. Are you actively and faithfully involved in a small group? Are you investing your life in others to help them become Jesus’ followers?

Our C3 Small Group Summit is November 16-20, just a couple weeks away. Jay McSwain, founder of PLACE Ministries and chaplain of the Atlanta Braves, will be our keynote speaker to help equip us. You will be challenged to find your PLACE in the Kingdom in reaching others. You will be given the opportunity to be trained to assist in leading a small group and helping others find their PLACE.

You will discover this key truth…You find your life when you give it away in reaching others (Matt. 16:25)!

Hope to see you at C3!

Setting Up the Sanctuary

As our first Sunday in the sanctuary draws closer, the level of activity and excitement continues to grow.

Installing new traffic light at the intersection of Bonny Oaks and Silverdale Rd.

The new traffic light is flashing now and should be fully functioning next week.

The countdown continues.  Only two more Sundays in the gyms and SMC! 

The Countdown Officially Begins!

Only a few weeks now until our first service in our newly-renovated sanctuary!  It's official - our first Sunday will be November 6.    Check out some of the changes taking place in the past week.

Lights and sound equipment in place

Finishing the new baptistry

Construction Continues!

 In the last two weeks alone, major progress has taken place in our sanctuary!  New catwalks are installed and painted, and equipment is being hung.  The stage area at the front of the sanctuary has been extended, and the baptistry is being installed to the left.  More rows have been added to the balcony, and that means more space for more people!  There is even fresh paint on the walls near the Choir Room.  Landscapers have begun planting new trees and plants around the outside of our campus, creating a warm and inviting environment for both guests and members.  As the weeks pass by, more and more changes are becoming visible! 

We are so excited about the lives God is going to touch through Silverdale Baptist, and we're so thankful for the extra space we will soon have for God to fill with new individuals and families.  Thank you again for your flexibility during this transition time!  

Enjoy the pictures below & be sure to share your thoughts here on the blog or on our Facebook page.  We want to hear from you!
