a statement of faith

Stone Church was established in 1906 at the corner of 37th and Indiana in Chicago, Illinois. Throughout the years, our church has seen God do great things: lives have been changed and many have been called into full-time ministry service.

While we have been a visionary church in the past, it is time to “dare to dream again”!

In realizing the need to relocate from our current facility on 127th and Ridgeland, our church family voted in May, 2004 to move to 183rd street in Orland Park, Illinois. The potential in Orland Park is enormous with a population explosion taking place as new families are moving in on a monthly basis. Stone Church is committed to focusing staff and financial resources to create ministries that will reach these families. Our vision is to not only reach Orland Park with the gospel message but the entire Southland of Chicago for Jesus Christ!

Our 15 year goals include relocating the church facility, reaching 2000 in attendance, giving $1,000,000 a year to missions and planting four churches in the area.

These needs compel us to complete a relocation project that will cost $5,900.000.

Our current property has been sold, we need to move, THE TIME IS NOW!

Our purpose is to “Love God” and “Love People.”

Our plan is that we as a church community continue to be a “Place to Belong,” a “Place to Grow,” and a “Place to Serve”.

Our process is that we encourage people to celebrate with us on Sunday mornings, connect with us in small groups and contribute with us in ministry.

We need you! You are important to us!

The time has come for us to step out in faith. God has given us the vision to be His church and reach the Chicago South Suburban area for His kingdom.

Will you pray? Will you commit boldly? Will you give generously and sacrificially? Will you share our vision of moving forward for God?
