VALUES

Welcome to RiverStone! We are very excited about what God is doing in our midst and we would love for you to join us as we seek to see our community transformed by God. In order for you to get to know us better, let us briefly describe our values and mission to you. We desire to become:

A House of Prayer

Jesus said, "My Father's house will be a house of prayer." At RiverStone we believe that prayer should be our first response, not our last resort. We desire everything we do to be bathed in prayer.

A House of Worship

We believe that the most intimate expression of our love for God is worship. We desire our corporate celebration to be a time of great refreshing for everyone involved. Our goal in worship is to glorify God and engage His presence.  We sincerely hope that you feel the freedom to worship God the way He deserves- with all of your heart.

  A Center for Healing

We believe that Jesus is the Great Healer. While our world is being devastated by sin and sickness, we are confident that God and God alone has the power to bring life out of death. We desire to see healing take place in our church, our community and in every area of life: the physical, the emotional, the relational and most all, the spiritual. Because healing was central in Jesus' ministry, we are committed to becoming a Center for Healing.  We currently provide the following opportunities to learn about and receive healing prayer:

*  School of Healing Prayer

*  Evening of Healing Prayer (monthly)

*  Pastoral Counseling

  A Place of Development

We believe that God has called us to be a church that focuses on training and sending.  We are more interested in Kingdom Expansion than church growth. We realize that many of the people who come to us are led here by God so that they can be trained, equipped, empowered, and then sent into strategic places of ministry around the world. Whatever God's call on your life, we would love the opportunity to walk with you as you discover and fulfill your Kingdom Destiny.

Our congregation also meets in cells, or small groups, throughout the week. A cell group is comprised of 6-14 people who gather weekly to build relationships with one another through study, prayer and encouragement.  Cell groups also help and reach out to those who do not know Jesus. We have cells meeting Sunday through Friday in homes throughout Cobb County. Please visit our "Cells" page to learn more about how cells work and how you could get involved in a cell.

  A People of Outreach

We believe that we have a message that the world needs to hear. We encourage our people to pay attention to and be responsible for the "zone," or area of influence, that God has given them. We believe that God has given Cobb County to our church as our collective "zone."  As such, we are trusting Him as we plan to plant as many as 20 churches over the next 10 years in Cobb County.  We also take seriously Christ's call to the nations.  We love giving to missions, praying for missions and going on mission trips!  Already, God has called many from our church into full-time, cross-cultural missions, and we anticipate that many, many more will be called to the nations.

If we can serve you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us from 9am-4pm Monday through Thursday at 678.384.5200.
