Each one of us has a need to belong and to be loved. And that’s why Jesus exhorts us to love each other. The New Testament abounds in many “one another” Scriptures – we are told to be devoted to one another, to build one another up, to forgive and pray for each other, to submit and to encourage one another, and to serve one another in love.
Stone House is a church of small groups where members and friends, old and young, singles and couples, come together to experience community and authentic relationships, to grow in faith and love, and to reach out in service.
The goal of our ministry is teaching people to SAIL. Groups focus on:
- Spiritual transformation
- Authentic relationships
- Intentional shepherding
- Loving service
Joining a small group is the first step in becoming involved in the life of the Stone House family, for this is where adult education and discipleship begins!
