01Welcome

A Place to Belong.
A Faith to Grow.
A Purpose to Fulfil.

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

Revealing God's Glory,
Pushing the Kingdom Forward.

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.

03Our mission

Five callings.
One spiritual house.

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

01

Romans 1:16

Preaching the Full Gospel

Proclaiming the whole counsel of God's Word — the good news of Jesus Christ that saves, heals and transforms.

02

Genesis 2:18

Building a Community of Divine Connection

God did not design us to live alone. We build relationships that reflect His love and care for one another.

03

1 Peter 2:4–5

Building a Spiritual House unto God

As living stones, we are being built together into a spiritual house, offering our lives in worship to God.

04

1 Peter 2:9

Raising & Equipping Priests and Kings

Discipling believers to know their identity in Christ and to fulfil their God-given calling.

05

Isaiah 61:3–6

Serving Our Neighbours & Advancing God's Kingdom

Becoming oaks of righteousness that rebuild, restore and carry God's love into our community.
