To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.
Ephesians 4:12
PURPOSE AND MISSION
The Stones Institute exists to help the local church fulfill its call to teach sound doctrine (Titus 1:9), make and mature disciples (Matthew 28:20), develop leaders (2 Timothy 2:2), and equip its members to build up Christ's Body and spread the gospel (Ephesians 4:11-16).

SCOPE AND SEQUENCE
Each semester, we offer both “core classes” and “elective classes.” Core classes are foundational material recommended for every person. Because of their importance, they will be offered on a three-year rotation. We believe the scope and sequence of these foundational classes help equip believers in significant areas that help them grow in Christ and walk alongside others. Elective classes include occasional classes we provide because of need or interest. The classes range in length anywhere from four to ten weeks and are offered on either Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights.
