Wherever you are in life, whatever is going on, you will always have a next step to take as you grow.
Water Baptism is a very special and exciting step to take!
Being submersed under water symbolizes that our old life, defined by sin, is being put to death. When you are raised up out of the water it symbolizes that your new life, defined by what Jesus has done for you, has begun!
You can sign up for baptism by texting ‘GET BAPTIZED’ to the Stone Church Text line (844.980.2812) or tap the button below.

Reading the Bible helps us understand God, ourselves, and the life we are called to live.
We recommend downloading the free Bible app in the App Store. Once you've downloaded it, select 'plans' on the bottom of the screen to search for devotionals. If you have recently made a decision to follow Christ, search "New Believer" and select the "First Steps for New Believers" study. This study will lead you in an 7-day journey designed to help you understand the decision you just made!
We also recommend buying a physical copy of a Bible. Here are a couple Amazon links of Bibles we recommend:
NIV Bible & NLT Bible
You can find more information and plans here on our Bible Reading Plans page. Just tap the button down below.
We encourage you to get involved in a local church that will encourage and equip you to follow Jesus (Hebrews 10:25)! One of the most important steps we can take in our faith journey is to be in community with other believers within the context of the local church!
We have three campuses that you can attend throughout the valley, each with two services every Sunday. Check out our campuses down below!
One of our core values here at Stone is OUTREACH. We view every Sunday gathering as an outreach to our community. One way you can be a part is to join one of our serving teams.
There are so many opportunities for you to serve here:
-
Parking Lot
-
Greeter
-
Kids World
-
And many others!
If you’d like to join the team, begin serving, and be a part of helping more people find and follow Jesus simply text ‘SERVE’ to the Stone Church Text line (844.980.2812) or click the button below.
One of our core values at Stone is RELATIONSHIP. We want to grow in our relationship with God and with one another! Our LifeGroup ministry is how we accomplish that! LifeGroups are generally offered in the Fall and Spring.
We offer three types of LG’s: Sermon-based that usually meet every other week in a home, RightNow Media groups that work through a video study, and Activity Groups.
LifeGroups will be available to join starting late February.
We believe that everything we have has been given to us by God. So, in an act of worship, we place God first in our finances. We give back a portion of what He has given to us. It’s called a ‘tithe.’
Your giving supports the various ministries of Stone as well as missionaries all over the world! Lives and eternities are changed through your giving! It’s also an important step in our faith journey because,
“where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
Giving can be done in-person during our Sunday gatherings or through our online giving platform. To set up your online giving, text 'GIVE NOW' to the Stone Church Text line (844.980.2812) or click the button below.
In Acts, we see the Early Church individually and collectively living with great purpose.
They wanted their life to make a difference. We are called to live with purpose and tell people about Jesus, and that can look differently for all of us. It is about asking God who we can reach out to and pointing people to Him, inviting people to church and walking with them on the “Next Steps Path”, or volunteering at a non-profit. It can also be allowing God to use us in ways we didn’t think possible before.
