Our Mission

To reach lost and hurting people with God's love, connect and grow together in God's truth, and change the world around us by fulfilling our God-given purpose.

Our Vision

Years ago, we prayed for God to reveal His vision for this church. What follows is our best attempt to sum up in words what God spoke to  our hearts...

...a church that is family - loving, loyal, forgiving and safe.

...people so transformed by the powerful love of God, that it spills out in practical ways to the people around them.

...torn apart families restored, dying relationships rekindled, broken people healed, empty people filled, and lost people found.

...thousands of people find hope, new life and purpose in a personal relationship with Jesus.

...a church of multiple congregations that embrace varying styles of worship, so people can choose how they celebrate and honor God.

...an inviting church campus; open to the community for meetings, recreation and rest.

Stone Ridge Values

Churches take on a personality shaped by the things they value most, their core beliefs. We believe...

...God's Word is life changing truth.

...lost people matter to God.

...the church should be culturally relevant without compromising God's truth.

...Christ's followers should be people of integrity.

...church should operate as a community of servants stewarding their spiritual gifts.

...small groups are essential for consistent personal growth.

...healthy, loving relationships should permeate every part of church life.

...excellence - doing the best we can with all we have - honors God and inspires people.

...the church is led by teams of people who share responsibilities.

...complete devotion to Christ is a life-long growing process and the standard for all Christians.

...prayer unleashes God's power.

 

Statement of Faith

We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory.

We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, that He performs the miracle of the new birth in unbelievers and indwells believers, that he bestows gifts to every believer and empowers us to live godly lives.

We believe that the Bible is God's written revelation to man, and that it is verbally inspired, authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts.

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, was alienated from God. Only through faith, trusting in Christ alone for salvation which was made possible by his death and resurrection, can that alienation be removed.

We believe that all people were created to exist eternally and will spend eternity either in the presence of God in Heaven or bereft of that presence in hell.

We believe that once salvation is given it will not be revoked, as it was given and is maintained by the grace of God and not through the works (or lack thereof) of the believer.
