Fruit of the Spirit
If you have been around the church you probably have heard a sermon or two about the Fruit of the Spirit. It’s something many of us are familiar with. However, we don’t often think of the Fruit being a result of Christian community and Christian freedom. Join us for worship this weekend as Rev. Ryan starts a new StoneBridge series on the Fruit of the Spirit. Come learn about the Apostle Paul’s vision for Christian community and what this has everything to do with the Fruit of the Spirit.
Family Gathering - July 19 @ 1:00pm
Join us on Saturday, July 19, from 1:00–2:30 PM for our sixth StoneBridge Family Gathering of 2026!
Come enjoy an afternoon of ice cream, fellowship, and family fun on the back lawn. After we satisfy our sweet tooth, parents can relax and connect while kids bring their bikes, scooters, or ride-on toys to enjoy a safe riding course in the parking lot. We'll have areas marked off for riders of all skill levels—from beginners to more experienced.
Have a favorite ice cream topping? Let us know!
Questions? Contact Rev. Ryan or Ms. Kristen.

Second Hour with Rev. Ryan
What is Christian mysticism? What makes someone a mystic? Are these people just out there or do they have something deeply profound to share? Join Rev. Ryan in a 4-week class during the month of July where we will dive into the Christian mystical tradition to answer these very questions. In this class, we will look at Christian mystics throughout history with the goal of understanding what exactly Christian mysticism is and how we can learn from the tradition for our faith lives today. We will look at historical figures, asceticism, mystical theology, and contemplation in our time together, all with the goal of having our own faith transformed.
