- For everyone: Download the Stone Hill Church App, avaliable from apple and android app stors, free. You will find information, announcements, connections, sermons, services and more!
- Again, for everyone: Our church elders will be reaching out to members in their parishes. If you’re not a church member and want to be included in that elder care, please contact Pastor Jin or the church office.
- For those in small groups: Our small groups will continue, growing closer and deeper during this virtual season. If you want to join a small group, please contact the church office.
- Again for those who want it: a daily newsletter, the Stone Hill Connector, is emailed Monday through Friday. It if full of help, hope and humor for adults, students, youth, and kids.
