Faith Stepping Stones — “We ARE a Stepping Stones Church!”

Bless, Gift and Call Parents
Faith Stepping Stones is a family ministry system that pulls parents into the role of primary faith mentors for their own children every night in every home.

Faith incubation doesn't happen in a vacuum. It doesn't happen over night. It must be nurtured over time. Faith Stepping Stones is a process that bonds parents and children into the body of Christ at eight crucial moments in parenting and leads them to incubate faith every night in every home. It provides faith-based parenting education from cradle to graduation through a series of eight short-courses. Each course brings parents and children together for fun and learning, and ends at the altar with a special blessing service.

Through this process, parents and children develop nightly faith practices that includes blessing, prayer, scripture reading, sharing of Highs & Lows, faith dialogue, and a nightly "I'm sorry" before turning out the lights on the day. This "every night in every home" ritual blesses the child, gifts the family, and calls parents to their promise while incubating faith.

The 2010 EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN CONFERENCE :

 

 

 

 

 

What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session Bible study, Priscilla Shirer redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God's invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.

NEW!  A Woman of Moderation Study:

Please join us as we are guided in studying God's Word through Dee Brestin's

"A Woman of Moderation, Breaking the Chains of Poor Eating Habits." 

The class will meet on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. and/or 7:30 p.m., weekly for ten weeks beginning September 14. 

A Woman of Moderation includes eight lessons with a radical and proven-effective way of overcoming poor eating habits. The reason diets don't work is not because we haven't tried the right diet, but we have not addressed the real problem. This study was done on Moody Bible Radio and thousands of women were impacted. This study is the beginning of a change in lifestyle that will give you the freedom for which you have so desperately longed.
