Welcome to Stones River Church

22 10 2009

Welcome to the Stones River web site. We are happy to provide this avenue for you to learn about our church family.  Our members come from diverse backgrounds and age groups. We have a high percentage of teens and young married couples with children.

I could give you my biased opinion of this church. But instead, I want to share with you some of the comments visitors have written about us in response to a couple of starter sentences.

This is what I noticed first:
“Relaxed, friendly, and loving environment.”
“The friendly family atmosphere and the beautiful singing.”
“Hands reaching out to welcome and greet me. Thank you.”
“A more contemporary look/sound than a traditional Church of Christ.”

This is what I liked best:
“Emphasis on praise; members seemed genuinely interested in us.”
“The singing and the fact that all members seem to work together sharing the responsibilities.”
“More relaxed atmosphere unlike what I grew up with 25-30 years ago.”
“Members realizing I was a visitor and welcoming me as I came through the door.”

From these statements you can see that we want to welcome all who choose to come worship with us. We seek to be biblical and contemporary in what we teach and practice. We recognize that our faith walk must be grounded in the Scriptures, but it must also be relevant to where we live today and the challenges of the twenty-first century.

If we can help you draw close to Jesus, please contact us. We want God’s grace to be what shapes us and gives us purpose. We would be honored to have you visit with us. We have Sunday School at 9:30am with classes for all ages. Worship begins at 10:30am with Children’s Church every other week and Wee Worship every week.
