Standing Stone Ministry
Standing Stone's 200+ shepherds throughout the United States provide a full range of Biblical guidance at no cost to pastors and other ministry leaders through ongoing, trusted relationships. Ministry leaders and their spouses have been called to pastor and guide those in their churches and organizations, but they often lack that same pastoral guidance for themselves. Standing Stone exists to guide ministry leaders into healthy ministry. Our vision is to see healthy ministries in every city transforming their communities for Christ. We believe healthy ministry leaders guide healthy ministries, and healthy ministries help spread the good news of the Gospel to their neighborhoods, communities, and cities. If you're a ministry leader, we invite you to increase your health, navigate crises, and ward off disasters. Experience a trusted relationship with a Standing Stone shepherd today. Or, if you believe you're called to pastor other pastors and ministry leaders, if you've gained wisdom forged from your own trials in ministry, and if you're in a healthy place with your life, work, and family, we invite you to consider how Standing Stone might be the next step in your ministry career and calling.
