Living Stones Fellowship

Living Stones Fellowship began as a Bible Study in  2010 and became a church plant in 2012 with the cooperating partnership of the North Central Baptist Association (formerly Blackhawk Baptist Association) and Illinois Baptist State Association.  

Meeting first in Pastor Griffin’s home, Living Stones soon grew to large for that and moved to “renting” space for worship and fellowship.

Living Stones is always focused on discipleship and instructions in righteousness.
