discipleship

CONTACT Philip Galyon

We believe in the importance of a continually growing and wholistic faith from our first breath all the way through our very last as we continue to discover anew God’s love for us. Small groups are provided as opportunities to build life-giving relationships with others and dive deeper into topics of life and faith, the Bible, to pray together, or in general to simply support one another. Large group studies are available to weekly and throughout the year for instruction and learning about the Bible, faith, and life.

SMALL GROUPS on Sunday mornings meet in rooms off of the gym:

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

Mondays 10am

Our goal is to use our God-given talents to make prayer shawls offering comfort and encouragement to anyone who needs to feel the love that has gone into making each one and the blessing that our pastor has added. We also make shawls to celebrate weddings, baptisms, and births. We welcome everyone who wants to join in a very rewarding ministry.

Heads, Hearts, and Hands: Stone River Discipleship

Starting Wednesday, February 24 from 6-7pm we will have in-person Wednesday Night ministries again!

The hour will begin with Adults, Students, and Kids gathering together in the Sanctuary at 6pm for a beautiful time of worship. Then the kids will go to the gym with Mrs. Katie, students will go to the fellowship hall with Pastor Philip and the adults will stay in the sanctuary with Pastor Megan for The Port.

The Port is going to be the first step in our new Discipleship Path. During Lent, Pastor Megan will be taking us on a journey that will deepen our faith and help us spring board into the second piece of our discipleship path after Easter. The Port with Pastor Megan will also be live-streamed here. We hope you make plans to join us!
