Local & Global Outreach
Living Stone MISSIONS
Living Stone Church supports local outreach to equip people to demonstrate the love and compassion of Jesus to our community. We believe the key to transforming lives for Jesus is through the context of the relationships we build in our neighborhoods.
Local outreach Partnerships
Living Stone Church is deeply committed to establishing meaningful mission partnerships both locally and globally. Through intentional relationships with like-minded organizations, we join forces to advance the Kingdom of God and address pressing social, spiritual, and physical needs. From supporting missionaries and church plants to engaging in community development and humanitarian efforts, our mission partnerships reflect our dedication to spreading the love of Christ and making a positive difference in the world.

A Better Way Ministries helps people with life controlling issues and initiates the discipleship process to the point where the student can function as a Christian in society; applying spiritually motivated Biblical principals to relationships in the family, local church, chosen vocation, and the community. The Ministry endeavors to aid people in becoming mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive. A Better Way Ministries is based on the fact that the man’s basic need is a relationship with God through Christ Jesus. People use drugs and alcohol as an attempt to fill a void that only Jesus can fill. When Jesus is made the Lord and Savior of a person’s life, a total transformation will follow. This is a Christ centered facility, that does not practice any other customs or rituals contrary to the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Calvary Children’s Home provides a home for children in the Metro Atlanta area that are orphaned or need to live apart from their families.

Circles Cobb helps people transition out of poverty by pairing each individual or family moving to financial stability with two volunteer mentors who befriend, encourage, and support them in achieving their goals. Weekly meetings focus on financial literacy, budgeting, workforce readiness, building connections, and more. Data from 80+ Circles chapters throughout the US and Canada show us that families who stick with our program for 18 months increase their earned income by 76% on average. While participants are navigating their way out of poverty, their successes and challenges are shared with local community leaders. The barriers that keep people in poverty are identified, discussed, and often resolved.
Mercy Multiplied exists to provide opportunities for all to experience God’s unconditional love, forgiveness, and life-transforming power. Programs such as residential housing, wellness and counseling services, training and equipment opportunities, as well as online and onsite resources are designed to equip people to live free and stay free in Christ.
