01Welcome
Living Stones Baptist Church is a Christ-centred, Bible-believing, multicultural congregation committed to worship, discipleship, prayer, evangelism and community service.
Following God's leading, the church began with five families in December 2006, holding its first service at Pilgrim Primary School on Sunday, 3 December 2006. Today we meet at Catherine Street Baptist Church in Plymouth city centre.
Whether you are visiting for the first time, are new to faith, are looking for a church for your family or are simply searching for a community to belong to — you are warmly welcome here.


02Our vision
We desire to see lives transformed by the knowledge of Jesus Christ, believers equipped for their God-given calling and communities touched by the love, truth and power of God.

Everything we do flows from these five commitments, rooted in the Scriptures and lived out together in Plymouth.
