Established with a mission to provide affordable, quality education, SFBC has become a cornerstone for students seeking a Christ-centered academic experience. As we look ahead to 2024, SFBC continues to expand its impact, both within the classroom and beyond. One of the hallmarks of SFBC is its commitment to community engagement. Each year, the college organizes mission trips to countries like India, Israel and Ecuador, providing students with the opportunity to serve and learn in diverse cultural contexts. These experiences are transformative, allowing students to apply their faith in real-world settings. Closer to home, SFBC has formed strong partnerships with local churches, small businesses, schools and para-church organizations, fostering a network of support that benefits both students and the broader community. A shining example of this is the college’s annual spring parking lot block party, which has catered to hundreds of families over the past two years, offering a day of fun, fellowship, and connection. Academically, SFBC stands out for its wide range of programs and flexible learning options. The college offers Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate degrees across various disciplines, including Biblical Studies, Ministry & Leadership, Business, Psychology & Counseling and more. With both online and on-campus classes, SFBC ensures that education is accessible to all, regardless of life’s demands. The college’s multicultural and interdenominational faculty enriches the learning environment, reflecting the diversity of the body of Christ. Moreover, SFBC’s commitment to keeping tuition low allows students to graduate debt-free, a significant factor that has placed the college among the top ten most affordable Christian colleges in the nation. SFBC’s growth is a testament to its success. The college has seen record enrollment for the past three semesters, leading to the addition of four new classrooms over the summer. This expansion reflects the increasing demand for the quality education that SFBC provides. The college also celebrates the achievements of its students and alumni. One notable success story is that of Matt Johnson, a recent graduate who received a $100,000 Caregiver Catalyst grant from the Cleveland Clinic philanthropy institution. His pioneering work in his organization has set a new standard for care and innovation. Looking ahead, SFBC invites pastors and church leaders to the bi-annual Shepherds’ Pie Pastors’ Luncheon on September 24th, 2024. This event will feature keynote speaker Stephan Tchividjian, the eldest grandson of the late Dr. Billy Graham, and CEO/Co-Founder of the National Christian Foundation of South Florida. Stephan will be speaking on the vital topic of work/life/ministry balance, offering insights and encouragement for leaders striving to maintain harmony in their demanding roles. This luncheon promises to be a time of inspiration, fellowship, and practical wisdom. As SFBC continues to grow and thrive, it remains committed to its mission of providing affordable, Christ-centered education while serving the community with love and compassion.
