If you're new here, WELCOME!
On behalf of the congregation of SFCC, we'd like to welcome you and take this opportunity to tell you a bit about our congregation.
Our mission statement says that the Sandborn First Christian Church exists to "love, serve, and connect people to Christ." Though we are imperfect vessels, we strive to let God use us in ways that will help His kingdom grow in our community and the surrounding area.
