DISCIPLESHIP AT STONE RIVER
TO GET CONNECTED
CONTACT Ted Amey
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.

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.
