Classes
Classes are semester based and open to everyone. They take place on Wednesday nights or Sunday mornings. Some are "core classes" within our Stones Institute offered on a three-year rotation and others are elective classes. If you have questions about classes, contact Pastor Dustin Crowe.
Gospel Foundations is a great way to learn how the gospel is God's means of rescuing us and transforming us. We will explain what the gospel means for the Christian life, and how we rehearse the gospel to rest in it. This is a great class for anyone new to the church or who is looking to apply the gospel to everyday life. This four-week class will meet every Sunday in August at 9:00 a.m. Registration is now closed because of capacity, but the class will be offered again in 2025.
The Story of the Bible covers major people, events, historical periods, and doctrines from Genesis to Revelation. The more we understand how the whole Bible fits together as a seamless story, and the better we know the key themes and truths throughout the story, the easier it becomes to understand the Bible and see how our story fits within it. This class will take place on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:00 p.m, from September 11 to November 20. Childcare will be offered. Register here. You can also register here for childcare.
God's Glory Among the Nations explains God's mission for the world and how He plans for the people of God to join Him in His redemptive plans so that a multitude of people from every nation, tribe, people, and language will know and worship Jesus.
We will first learn about God's mission and discover your role and the church’s role in making disciples of all nations. It will take place from October 20 to November 3 on Sundays at 9:00 a.m.. Register here.

small Groups
Real discipleship. Real people.
Small groups provide spaces within the church for believers to dig into the Word and live life alongside one another.
Groups are made up of adult men and women from all stages of life who meet at various times and locations to discuss God's Word, pray together, and support one another. Groups not only gather together regularly but they live life together through social gatherings, caring for the practical needs of one another, and bearing one another’s burdens. Groups include men’s groups, women’s groups, groups for men and women, as well as a group for senior adults and a group for young adults.
If you have questions about small groups or are interested in leading or joing a group, contact Pastor Derek Allen at derek@stonescrossing.com.

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDIES
Each semester, we offer Men's and Women's Bible studies that spend ten weeks studying a book of the Bible in gender-specific environments. They are a great way for anyone at the church to connect with others, learn more about how to read the Bible, and dig into a book with other believers.
This semester we will study Paul's letter to the Philippians. Philippians emphasizes key themes for the Christian life, such as the sufficiency of Christ, rejoicing in all things, church unity, standing firm through suffering, and cultivating humility, Stones Crossing will provide a free study guide. The main studies are offered on Wednesdays but there will also be a Sunday night option for women and a Sunday morning option for men. Register here for the men's study and here for the women's study.

Foundations of Biblical Counseling: These classes provide opportunities to understand God's perspective on a variety of topics that affect us all. You'll get answer to questions like: What is biblical counseling? Or what are the three key elements of biblical counseling?
We'll cover topics that include guilt, forgiveness, depression, worry and anxiety, anger, life dominating sins (addictions), apologetics, helping those on heavy duty meds, marriage/divorce/remarriage, dealing with disease and death, and more.
You can join us for one or two hot topics of interest, or you can jump in for the whole semester. These training classes serve as the first level to prepare our next wave of biblical counselors. We'll meet on Sundays (September 15 to December 8) at 10:45 a.m. in room 301.
