The Bible teaches that deacons are to be servants to the pastors by serving the church family.  The deacons at Suber Road are here to help our church family grow in Christ by encouraging them spiritually and helping them physically.

Each member of SRBC is assigned to a deacon care group.  These groups furnish members with the opportunity to fellowship and minister in smaller groups.  When a care group member has special needs, the care group will come to their aid.  The group works together to provide meals, assistance at home, etc.

First, we support "traditional" missionaries.  These are missionaries who minister, long-term, on a selected mission field.  We have missionary pastors, evangelists, and mission board representatives in this category.

Second, we promote short-term mission opportunities.  These are members of our church family who go on mission trips on their own or sponsored by our church.  Our church sponsors at least one mission trip each year.  We have sponsored trips to Tennessee, New York City, Colorado, Wyoming, the island of St. Vincent, Canada, Mexico, and Peru.  Team members raise their own support for these trips.

Men For Missions is another way that our church family is actively involved in short-term mission work.  Under MFM organization, members of the church family are able to work on construction projects and other types of physical assistance to missionaries and church planters.  We have opportunities throughout the year to participate in a variety of these kinds of projects, in and outside the United States.

Finally, we support church planters.  Our support to these missionaries is dictated by the area where there church is to be planted.  Typically, our support is for 3-5 years or until the church is self-supporting.  We currently support two church planters.

In Matthew 28:19-20 we have the Great Commission as given by our Lord Jesus Christ:

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

Our Sunday School classes are the direct result of seeking to fulfill this charge.  Sunday School classes are a vital part of the growth of our church family.  We have found that these small groups are the best way to assimilate into the church family.  We have classes appropriate for each age group from toddlers through senior citizens. 

In our Elementary level classes (toddlers through 6th grade) we use a standard graded curriculum.

Our Youth group is divided for Sunday School.  The 7th and 8th graders have a separate teaching time from the 9th through 12th graders but the activities of the Youth Group are for all the teens.

Our Adult level classes are taught by a rotation of teachers.  Instead of having a teacher assigned to only one class, our teachers will teach the same study to each of the classes by rotating through the classes each quarter.  Continuity in the classes is provided by the Shepherd Couple who oversees the class and schedules activities and ministry opportunities.
