People
Our Ministry
Stepping Stones Church cares about people. We are a friendly place where people
are touched with the love of Christ and led to become fully devoted followers
of Him. Each person is aided in discovering their gifts and ways to use their
passions to minister to others. It begins with customer service extraordinaire.
People of all ages are warmly greeted and assisted, phone calls are returned promptly,
concerns are dealt with in a timely manner. It continues with personal and caring
contact — letting no one fall through the cracks.

The Bible
Our Manual
The Bible is God’s perfect guidebook for living. Everything we need for
living a victorious life is found in its pages. Any practice that goes against
scriptural principles will lead to unhappiness. Sound doctrinal teaching will
be delivered in ways that are easy to understand. A balance checklist will assure
that major felt need areas are dealt with each year (i.e. marriage, parenting,
finances) and that key doctrines are covered over a three year period.
Unity — Our Mandate
We commit to be good finders in our church and in each other. The positive
atmosphere is maintained as each member is encouraged to have a daily quiet time
and speak words that will only build up others.
