Assistant Pastor of Family Ministry & Local Engagement About Stone Hill Church

Stone Hill Church is a nondenominational, gospel-centered, Great Commission church (Matt. 28:16-20) committed to winning, building, connecting and sending disciples for Jesus Christ.

Stone Hill Church’s approach to Family Ministry is grounded in Deuteronomy 6 and the principle commonly referred to as “Sticky Faith”—a faith that endures into adulthood.

• Parents are the primary disciple rs of their children; the church supports and equips, but does not replace the home.
• Students are to be known by 3–5 mature Christian adults in addition to their parents, who can model and reinforce a lived-out faith.
• Students are called into real discipleship: worship, Scripture engagement, service, and growth in holiness, held together with patience, grace, and pastoral care.
• Students are given space to ask questions, express doubts, and wrestle honestly without fear of embarrassment or dismissal.
• Students are integrated into the full life of the church, including gathered worship, rather than a separated siloed environment.
• Students are given meaningful opportunities to serve and take ownership within the church community.
• Our aim is not behavior management, but identity rooted in Jesus Christ. We seek to see young people grow into mature, devoted followers of Jesus who remain engaged in the church as adults, wherever God calls them.
