SB Community desires to support ministries that promote a local church emphasis, clearly proclaim the gospel, invest in and raise up national leadership whenever possible, and demonstrate good stewardship.
Furthermore, SB Community hopes to grow missionaries out of our own church body and to send our people out as missionaries both into the greater Santa Barbara area as well as around the world.
