Our purpose at STBC is to enlarge the fellowship of God through our fellowship with one another. This exciting goal is inspired from the invocation in John’s first epistle.

"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life... we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ."

(1 John 1:1,3)

This means that we seek to intentionally live life in such a way as to gain favor and win people to the Lord through the outspoken love we have for each other. This love is to be vividly demonstrated through our genuine desire to meet and eat together, pursue truth, goodness and wisdom together, pray for and serve one another, train up our children together, rejoice and morn together, and, of course, glorify the Father and exalt the Son together—just to name a few.
