MISSION & VALUES

Mission Statement

Living Stones Church is a community chosen and commissioned by the Father in His grace, to be changed by the love of Jesus Christ, that we might be charged with sharing the good news in power of the Spirit to the glory of God.

Living Stones Church Values

The Lordship of Jesus: Jesus is King which means He is in charge. 

The Teaching of Scripture: The Word of God creates and sanctifies the people of God.

Orthodoxy: God’s truth does not change, so we declare it in the chorus of God’s faithful throughout the ages as we proclaim and preserve the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Worship: We are worshipers of God as the sole source of all virtue, holiness, and goodness. We glorify God through acts of obedience, prayer, praise, giving, corporate worship, and the studying of scripture. 

Simplicity: What you win people with is what you win people to, so we desire to simply win people with the Gospel of Christ so we might win them to Jesus Christ. 

Discipleship: We are called to a lifelong commitment to learning from and following Jesus Christ, no matter the cost. 

Prayer and Dependence on the Holy Spirit: Apart from the leading and empowering of the Spirit, we are building in vain.

The Great Commission: The rescue that Jesus has accomplished is the greatest news in the world, and everyone needs to hear it!

Fellowship: When God called us to faith in Jesus, He did not simply call us to a decision, but He has called us to be a part of His body, the church, and a community of fellow disciples. 

Integration: Each individual has an important part to play in Christ's church, and is an integral part of the whole of what God is building, no matter age, ethnicity, gender (male or female), or socio-economic background.

Humility: We believe when we remember how small we are, we get to truly see how Great our God is!

Forgiveness: As a forgiven community, we must be a forgiving community.

The Transforming Grace of God: God giving us what we could never earn is a startling reality which reaches into the depths of us and changes us from the inside out.
