The Mission
The mission of Stones Crossing Church is the same as when the church was planted over 20 years ago:
Helping people take their next step toward Christ— together.
Helping people take their next step toward Christ— together.
The Vision
The vision of Stones Crossing Church is to "Belong, Become, and Go Beyond." We seek to create a community of authentic believers who belong to God's family, are becoming like Christ, and go beyond themselves to serve others and share the gospel with those around them.
Belong
We are called to belong to God through His salvation and baptism and to each other as the body of Christ through membership and community.
Become
We are called to become more like Jesus through discipleship and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.
Beyond
We are called to live beyond ourselves by telling others the great news of the gospel message—that Jesus Christ has bought us with His own blood and that He makes us righteous before God.
The Values
Values represent who we are as a church, and answer the question of why we do what we do.
Biblical Authority: God has spoken to us through the Scriptures. Therefore, the Bible is our ultimate authority for life and godliness.
Authentic Community: we believe care, accountability, and a sense of belonging are crucial to growth in grace as a Christian. Therefore, as a church we seek to cultivate and protect community life of our congregation.
Gospel Centrality: The gospel is good news of what God has accomplished through the sinless life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ—our redemption. The gospel enables salvation for non-believers but growth in Christ for believers.
Missional Intentionality: We hold that all believers have the responsibility of carrying out the Great Commission in their sphere of influence.
