who are we?

At SCC, we’re a community of people from all generations who are learning what it means to follow Jesus — not just on Sundays, but every day of the week. Because faith isn’t meant to stay inside the church walls. It’s meant to show up in your home, your workplace, your neighborhood — everywhere you go.

That’s why we’re passionate about helping you live out what you believe. Whether it’s through life groups, serving others, or simply growing in your relationship with God, our goal is simple: to help you make Jesus known in real, everyday ways.
And here’s the thing — no matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you’re welcome here. Maybe church has always been part of your story. Maybe you’ve never stepped foot in one. Or maybe church is the last place you thought you’d end up because of something that happened in the past. Wherever you are, we get it — we’re all looking for hope.

At SCC, we believe that hope has a name — and His name is Jesus. The good news is, He loves you exactly as you are. But the even better news? He loves you too much to leave you there.
At SCC, we’re all about keeping the main thing the main thing — Jesus and His Word. We’re a non-denominational church that believes the Bible is our ultimate authority, not tradition or denominational labels.

From the very beginning, we’ve tried to follow the example of the early church — baptism by immersion, communion every week, and a faith that actually shows up in real life, not just on Sunday mornings.

Our story started back in the mid-1980s as Indian River Christian Church. Eventually, we moved to our current campus and became Sebastian Christian Church — same mission, new name. And while our roots go back to a movement that began centuries ago with one simple goal — to bring Christians together around the truth of Scripture — we’re still living out that vision today.

We’re an independent church, led by a team of Elders, doing our best to follow the New Testament model for leadership and community. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about labels or structures. It’s about helping people know and follow Jesus — together.
