While the JoH campaign significantly enhances the facility, there is so much more to the project.
The Association of Fellowship Baptist Churches of South Central BC began with just 7 churches in 1941. Those first congregations established the camp and shared in the ongoing vision of SBC. Since then, our region has grown to include 18 churches, and they remain connected to each other and deeply committed to this camp. Their collective impact is immeasurably vast. Really, the story of Sunnybrae is the story of our churches, who are more qualified to reach, teach, equip, and disciple their respective communities than camp could ever be. If there is to be a revival, we believe that God will accomplish it through the local church's ministry. SBC’s role is to support and energize the ministry of our churches by hosting a condensed discipleship experience for as many as we can, reaching new believers and training future leaders to return to their churches. Thus far, this strategy has been effective. Many have been introduced to Jesus. Many have resolved to know Him more. Many have been introduced to a local church. Many have responded wholeheartedly to serving Him.
We believe this campaign is more about shared obedience than it is about enhancing the facility. Buildings cannot inspire hope. Rather, we seek to respond faithfully to His mission as we sense a need, opportunity, and urgency to serve our churches better. Our ultimate vision is that God leads this project for His name's sake.
