Missions & Outreach

"Any endeavor outside our local congregation to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ by proclaiming the Gospel of Christ; making disciples and participating in the whole need of mankind-spiritual, emotional and physical" (LSC Missions Policy)

The membership of LSC continues to show their commitment to missions with a longstanding direction to their Official Board that a minimum of ten per cent of the annual offerings must be allocated to our Missions Committee for allocation to missions (ongoing and short-term) under their oversight.

Anyone desiring to assist LSC in our sponsorship of these ministries is invited to contact the church directly. Please note that tax deductible receipts are available for donations written out to "Living Stones Church Missions", but government regulations do not allow donors to specify a certain missionary.
