 Our Mission |
||
| To bring people to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in a safe
place, where God’s grace, forgiveness, and truth create authentic and responsible
disciples committed to spreading the gospel. |
||
| Vision Statement Summary and Battle Cry | ||
| Stone Haven is a Church that is based solely on the Bible - the
inerrant, infallible Holy Word of God. As such, the worship, discipleship, fellowship,
messages, decisions, practices and all that takes place in our congregation are measured
against God’s standard for man – not man’s standard for man. The
overarching goal is to better prepare the saints to be Warriors for Christ Jesus in facing
the world (1 John 4:4, Eph. 6:11-18) and doing battle (2 Chron 20:15: “Do not be
afraid for the battle is God’s”) |
