Networking and Clustering 

Stanley Hauerwas writes,
To be resident but alien is a formula for loneliness that few of us can sustain. Indeed, it is almost impossible to minister alone because our loneliness can too quickly turn into self-righteousness or self-hate. Christians can survive only by supporting one another through the countless small acts through which we tell one another we are not alone, that God is with us. Friendship is not therefore, accidental to the Christian life.  (Resident Aliens: Life in the Christian Colony)

Most of us would agree with the importance of connecting with other and in SCBA we believe Networking and Clustering helps create:

  • A shared vision for ministries we engage in
  • The opportunity to share of resources
  • Strong pastoral support
  • A sense of belonging to something bigger


Ways to Connect
