Our Story
This new ministry of Living Stones Church is dedicated to equipping believers for deeper theological understanding and faithful ministry in the local church and beyond. Whether you sense a calling to pastoral leadership or simply desire to grow in your knowledge of Scripture and Christian doctrine, the Institute provides accessible, high-quality training rooted in God’s Word. Our initial course offerings will include Biblical Studies, Pastoral Leadership, and Practical Ministry—designed to form both the heart and the mind for gospel-centered service. Living Stones Institute is open to all who desire to be equipped for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:12) and to be faithful stewards of God’s truth in every sphere of life.
We are pleased to partner with Portland Bible College to offer courses for credit in their undergraduate programs. Students can transfer up to 40 credit hours of LSI courses into a PBC degree program.
