A warm conversation after a Living Stones church gathering

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship…”

Acts 2:42

Welcome home

Church is family, not simply a Sunday event.

Living Stones Family Church is a Christ-centred community in Jinja where people learn to love God, love one another and follow Jesus in everyday life.

We gather around biblical teaching, worship, prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit. We also meet in homes, share meals, care for one another, disciple every generation and reach out to our neighbours. We want the life of Jesus to become visible through a healthy local church.

Our foundation

Built on Jesus. Shaped by Scripture. Alive in the Spirit.

Living Stones exists to glorify Jesus Christ by building a healthy local church family: rooted in the Word, led by the Spirit, strengthened through genuine relationships, and connected in apostolic partnership for the advance of the Gospel.

Church life

Following Jesus together, all week long.

Sunday gatherings matter, but church life continues in homes, friendships, prayer, hospitality, serving and everyday discipleship.

Sunday Gatherings

We worship, pray, receive biblical teaching and make room for the Holy Spirit to strengthen the church.

Family Groups

Smaller gatherings in homes help us build real relationships, apply Scripture and care for one another.

Men

Men encourage one another toward courage, integrity, servant leadership and faithfulness to Jesus.

Children & Families

Children belong in the church family and grow through safe, joyful and age-appropriate discipleship.

Hospitality & Serving

We open our lives, share what we have and use our gifts so that others experience the love of Christ.

Our leadership

Richard & Sue Van De Ruit

Richard and Sue serve Living Stones with a pastoral heart for people, a deep love for Jesus and a conviction that the church flourishes when believers grow as a genuine family.

They help create a culture of biblical teaching, prayer, personal care, hospitality and participation. Their desire is not to build an audience around themselves, but to help people know Jesus, become mature disciples and take their place in the life and mission of the church.

Biblical, relational leadership

Living Stones is strengthening a biblical eldership structure in which spiritual leadership, doctrine, pastoral care and mission are carried through accountable relationships. Directors and ministry teams provide faithful legal, administrative and practical service to that spiritual mission.

Apostolic partnership

Walking in apostolic partnership.

Living Stones values partnership with the wider Four12 family of churches. This relationship is not about control from outside, but about shared doctrine, mutual accountability, encouragement, equipping and mission.

We want our governance, teaching, leadership and church life to remain faithful to Scripture while expressing the warmth, humility and relational strength of New Testament church life.
