Before we tell you about the leadership team of SBC we would like to pay tribute to all the many unseen people whose continual sacrificial service enables church life to blossom.

Baptists, by nature, involve the whole membership in decision making. However, day by day the church is run by the team consisting of the Pastor, a Youthworker, Elders, Deacons, Homegroup Leaders, Youth and Children's Work Leaders, Office and Maintainance Staff.
