SBCC’s new home, which used to be a bus terminal, was acquired as a foreclosed property from Rizal Commercial Banking  Corporation  (RCBC) in August 2001. The church, however, has to uneasily endure waiting when the original owners decided to engage RCBC in a long-drawn court battle that lasted for 7 years.

Last August, the same month when our dear Pastor Bob Sanchez signed the Contract to Sell Memorandum of Agreement with RCBC exactly 7 years ago, SBCC finally took possession of the contested property following the conclusion of the legal suit in favor of RCBC.

So, on November 2, 2008, SBCC will hold its first ever Worship Service in its new address in Lacson, surely a momentous event that every church member should not miss.

On Pastor Dave Trinidad’s (SBCC’s Head Pastor) own words, ‘the church saga can be likened to Israel’s exodus to its Promised Land. The feeling is ambivalent – there is triumphant joy because we are finally home, yet saddening because like Moses, Pastor Bob will not be around to set foot in our Promised Land’.

*Be part of history!! Don’t miss our first Worship Service at Lacson NEXT SUNDAY!! See you there!
