For 88 years, Steinbach Bible College has been empowering servant leaders to follow Jesus, serve the church, and engage the world. We send students back to their churches and into the world to serve there.

There are two things that make me passionate about the mission of SBC. One is my ongoing conversation with denominational leaders, the world I come from. The church is going to need a lot of new leaders in the next 10 years; there has to be a place to train servant leaders for the strength of the church. The other is my personal discipleship experience. My experience at SBC opened my eyes to the hugeness of what God has done for me in Christ Jesus. It stirred in me a passion that drives me to this day—and I have seen that same experience lived out in so many SBC alumni.

For the future of the church, SBC must go on.

Five years ago, the combined board of SBC and SCS (K–12) divided the schools into two separate organizations. They agreed that when growth necessitated it, SCS would move into SBC spaces, and SBC would move out of the campus building. That time has come; SBC will be moving into a new building in September 2026!

Early in 2024, the former Steinbach Family Medical building became available to us through a generous donor and an owner who wanted the mission of Christ to happen in that building.

The location is marvelous. It allows us a distinct identity from Steinbach Christian School. It moves us into the heart of Steinbach. It puts us right on the beautiful walking path into Steinbach’s beautiful green spaces and parks. It puts us closer to the churches we serve and some of their spaces we can use. It puts us close to Red River College where we have a program partnership. It puts us close to a number of service learning opportunities like Steinbach Community Outreach, Bridgepark Manor, and Bethesda personal care home and hospital.

We are excited about how the building design is taking shape. The administration offices will go in the east wing. The northeast corner with the 25-foot ceiling, balcony, and skylight will be our common meeting and dining area. That area is going to be beautiful. Community will happen there. The current west wing will be rebuilt to house classrooms on the main floor and the chapel and library on the second floor. Two floors of dorms will be added to the west end of the building to give our students free access to the whole campus. Superior Projects has been contracted to build it with us.

We are seeing this as an exciting opportunity that will strengthen the mission of SBC and the churches we serve. Please consider how you can partner with SBC to build a new campus and train up servant leaders to follow Jesus, serve the church, and engage the world. We appreciate your generosity and your prayers.
