LivingStone Church

Corydon, IA, USA

LivingStone Church is a vibrant and growing church.  In August of 2019, LivingStone Church (LSC) was launched in our small, rural community, seventeen miles south of our sponsoring church.  A core group of eleven families committed to this plant, and the Lord provided a full-time pastor.  Amid an unprecedented season of challenges for churches everywhere, LSC has experienced a tripling of attendance.  We warmly welcome around 70 people for authentic, contemporary worship led by our praise band and “verse-by-verse” preaching of the Bible.  Our pastor and his family have sensed a call back to the mission field.  Though his teaching and leadership will be greatly missed, we are grateful for he and his family’s vital contribution to help establish LSC.  We look forward to partnering with them in the ministry God has called them to, as we look ahead to the future God has planned for this church.

A little about us:  Our community has a lot to offer, in terms of opportunity for growth in both industry and the Kingdom of God. Corydon is home to around 1,500 people and serves as the county seat.  Corydon is in the heart of southern Iowa, a land filled with acres of corn and the densest population of the biggest white-tailed deer anywhere!  We are dedicated to serving the people of our local community, while also being obedient to Matthew 28:19–20.  We believe in a church structure where primary leadership is provided by the elders in accordance with 1 Timothy 3, 5, and Titus 1, in which the pastor is a member.  The congregation does contribute to major decisions of the church.  We currently meet Sunday mornings in the community movie theater, which serves our immediate needs well.  We encourage weekly small group communities; Bible studies and student ministry use the classroom and fellowship space next door at the Stone Zone.  Although LSC is established as non-denominational, we do adhere closely to the Statement of Faith of the Southern Baptist Convention and occasionally make use of their available resources.  Our theology, in short, is salvation by faith alone.
