Why join a Living Stones Small Group?

Because a Living Stones Group focuses on the relationships of the people in it, joining a Living Stones Group will enable you to do the following things well:

WORSHIP Christ and learn from His Word together in a more intimate setting than on Sunday morning.

USE your spiritual gifts by serving others, those in the church and the world.

CARE for each other through special acts of kindness, specific prayer, and mutual encouragement.

WELCOME new people, both Christians and seekers, into a family of real friendship and prayerful support.

GROW and then plant new Living Stones Groups so that more people in our community can personally experience the love of Jesus from a smaller family of His children.

What happens during a typical Living Stones Group meeting?
