Streets

We meet our neighbors on common ground for the common good, connecting with our communities through grassroots action and community partnership.

Who are we becoming?

Loving our city well starts with becoming the best neighbor we can be. We commit to helping SBCC members better see and respond to their community through educational events and grassroots opportunities.

You can attend one of our quarterly Streets Workshops, volunteer in the city with trusted partners, or get active in your own neighborhood!

Place matters.

We recognize the importance of the places we find ourselves. Whether with neighbors or coworkers, shared location develops collective needs & celebrations. As a church, we look for opportunities to bring people from shared locations to live & serve together.

Let us know if you are interested in becoming a neighborhood captain!

Some things we can only do together.

There is power when everyone comes together around a shared purpose. We love to unite our attention, energy, and resources for our city, especially those most vulnerable.

We fund foster care & adoption, pursue affordable housing solutions, support our South Bend public schools, and create great events that celebrate our city.

Neighbors without borders.

Our desire to be good neighbors is not limited by fences or borders. We seek God’s goodness across the globe by prioritizing peace-making in a world in conflict. We partner with the Telos Group, an organization that helps form and equip communities of peacemakers to help heal intractable conflict. Peacemaking pilgrimages are becoming part of our global involvement.
