Stony Hills, a congregation of the Presbyterian Church USA, was founded by a core of faithful people to meet the need for a new church in southern Washington and northern Waukesha counties. In the fall of 1984 this core began to meet together, established as mission project of the Presbytery of Milwaukee. Stony Hills Presbyterian Church was chartered as a congregation on February 7, 1988. In August of 1994 we moved into our beautiful new building. We have grown from a small core of worshiping Christians into the vital congregation we are today. A commitment to Christ-centered worship, biblical faithfulness, spiritual growth, and serving God in our community and world is what we believe God has called us to. Communion is served on the first Sunday of every month, and is open to all baptized Christians. Baptism is celebrated as a part of the worship service so the congregation shares the joy!
Love-
to
experience, share and receive the fullness of Christ with one another, the
greater community and the world
So that God’s glory is revealed.
We
believe the story God longs to tell over, in, and through our lives is a grand
love story; the story of our being loved by Love itself; and a story we’re
invited to receive and share together. We believe such love is especially
an invitation to celebrate together in worshiping God and learning to care and
support and challenge one another in authentic relationships.
We believe God made us for worship. He calls us together to join in a
beautiful and glorifying celebration of His faithfulness to us in Jesus
Christ. We worship God as our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, as
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We worship in song and prayer, hearing the
Word of God, and responding to the Word through the daily offering of our
lives. We use ancient and new ways—familiar traditions and
creative expressions. We also share in the sacraments of
Communion and Baptism together.
Grow —
to
increase in knowledge and love of God through the study of Gods Word and the fellowship of the
church so that lives are transformed to be disciples of Christ.
We believe God has called the church to grow together spiritually. We
desire to be a church that seeks Biblical understanding towards living in this
world with both truth and grace. There is a place for you here to grow
deeper through relationships and in classes, seminars, small groups, and
serving opportunities.
We’re also trying to create ways to meet spiritual, emotional
and intellectual needs so that, together, we can deepen one another’s
relationships with Jesus Christ. We want to be a church that lives in
faithful obedience to Scripture, with genuine lives to fulfill the Great
Commission with the Great Commandments of loving God and loving others.
Serve—
living
out our faith for our church, community and throughout the world so that God will be
glorified as His heart, character and will are revealed over, in and through
our lives.
We
believe God has called each member of the church to proclaim the Good News of
Jesus Christ to all the world and make disciples of all nations! We’re
learning together to be a church that lives out the Gospel in our
everyday lives: in our homes, neighborhoods, schools, and work
places. We hope to do so in many places in our larger community, nation
and world. We don’t have volunteers at Stony Hills—we believe we’re all
called to be ministers serving with the gifts God has given us.
