About Us

Launching in 1981 as just 30 people in a living room in Northwest Indiana, Living Stones has grown into a vibrant multi-generational church family.

As you come to him, a
living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Growing people, Multiplying Leaders

Our foundation was built on the work of nurturing and restoring healthy, biblical marriages. In continuing that mission, everything we do here at Living Stones is centered around loving, healing, and equipping individuals and families to grow into a greater likeness of Christ Jesus!

What WE Believe

At Living Stones, we believe that sound doctrine is essential to knowing God rightly, living faithfully, and sharing the gospel effectively. Our Doctrinal Statement summarizes the core truths of Scripture that have been affirmed throughout church history as foundational to the Christian faith. We believe the Bible is God's inspired, authoritative, and trustworthy Word, and that it serves as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. With humility, conviction, and a desire to promote both clarity and unity, we affirm the following statements as a reflection of the truth revealed in Scripture.

The Bible

Jesus

Humanity

Gender, Marriage + Sexuality

The Church

God

The Holy Spirit

Salvation

Baptism + Communion

The Last Things + Jesus' Return
