StoneBridge Community Church

Tempted to postpone Thanksgiving this year? Understandably, the circumstances of 2020 make it tough to muster the thanksgiving spirit. Gratefully, God’s attributes are not circumstantial but eternal. Join StoneBridge this weekend for worship and discover your thanksgiving spirit delightfully renewed by Pastor Jonathan’s special holiday message.

Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus invited a diverse group of people to experience the Kingdom of God because it was in the process of coming to earth. Today, believers wait for the Kingdom of God to fully arrive and, as a reflection of God's Kingdom, are called to be united. This week in worship, StoneBridge's special guest speaker, Pastor Tom Stephen will explore the characteristics of God's kingdom that provide the power to heal the world's division, through us.

In construction, a plumb-line is a weight with a pointed tip, hung from a string, used to determine a vertical reference. From this reference, everything else is built. This week in worship, we'll examine Jesus' plumb-line for all his teachings - meant to be the spiritual reference point for our lives.

When we think of all the issues dividing our nation, taxes may be at the top of the list. Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus was asked about taxes but he didn't take a position. Instead, he made a clear statement that is famous to this day. This week's message explores Jesus' ingenious response.

Imagine managers at a remote company location thinking they could keep all the profits if they would just ignore, physically intimidate, or even kill the home office representatives. Jesus told a story about managers just like this… and it turns out, we may be more like the managers than we'd like to admit.

When life feels crushing, personal faith is often questioned. Self-doubt soon follows and a downward, spiritual spiral begins. We question, "Why didn't I have enough faith? This week Pastor Neal unveils a healthier perspective of Mark 11:22-25.

For any organization, growth is important. Modern growth strategies include social media, demographics, and marketing - just to name a few. Two thousand years ago, Jesus' method for growth can be summed up in three words. Today's message will unveil his three words and challenge us to apply them to our lives.

The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) has been working hard to hire StoneBridge’s next Senior Pastor and is excited to announce our nomination - Pastor Jon Saur. In June of 2019, the PNC was elected by our congregation. Since then, the PNC created what’s known as a Ministry Information Form (MIF). The MIF outlined the position and described our church and congregation. The position was then promoted. The PNC received over 150 applications. Of those, 44 applications were reviewed and vetted. Multiple interviews were then conducted with 11 qualified applicants. Like many other areas in our lives, the Covid-19 pandemic inevitably prolonged StoneBridge’s hiring process. Thank you for your patience. This week in worship, StoneBridge Community Church gets to hear Pastor Jon Saur's candidating sermon!

More common than ever, an us versus them attitude is not a strategy followers of Jesus are to have. Making us smaller and them bigger, an us versus them attitude shrinks our world. In this week's scripture, Jesus encourages a compelling, alternative mindset.
