Church Planting

What is it all about

We want to allow a unifying, uncommon move of God to happen through Living Stones Fellowship – all centered on the gospel and advancing the mission of Jesus through obediently planting church-planting churches. It is our desire to see this leading to millions of lives changed by the power of the Spirit for the glory of God.

Living Stones Fellowship is seeking to get behind the men and woman who are planting churches by:

Covenanting with them under the gospel
Training missional leaders formally and informally
Networking with men and women in different denominations and networks for the kingdom good of the city
Resourcing planters with the tools they need to develop in a healthy manner
Multiplying the gospel through church-planting as a means to make disciples of all nations
Inspiring them as Spirit-empowered leaders, united with this gospel community of Living Stones Fellowship Churches, on mission together for the glory of God.

Living Stones Fellowship is a network of related ministries. We believe there are other "God called" fellowships, organizations, and associations of which Living Stones Fellowship, Inc. is one of many.

Living Stones Fellowship began in Duluth, MN as "Lakeside New Life Assembly of God" in 1980 when about 50 adults and children from Glad Tidings Assembly of God teamed up with John Krhin and his young family. During the first several years the church changed from a pastor/board led congregational form of government to an elder type of government, embracing the five-fold ministry as described in Ephesians 4 and modeled throughout the New Testament. During this process the church also began to expand by accepting the oversight of two other struggling Assembly of God churches in Duluth, namely Cornerstone A/G and Fellowship A/G.

With the ministry team growing to include 7 elders and 7 deacons these churches merged in 1997 to form "Living Stones Fellowship". Since then the church has renewed its vision to win the lost, disciple the saints, raise up succeeding generations of leaders, and multiply its presence into all the world. The new Duluth site has been named the " House of Refuge". Living Stones Fellowship in Side Lakes, MN is known as the "House of Praise". Living Stones is in the process of launching a new congregations in Nashwauk, MN and other future communities, as God enables.

Recent developments see Living Stones Fellowship unfolding as a regional influence and beyond. The School of Ministry, the Pure Gospel Network, You Are The Temple and other expressions of related ministries are providing a framework helping Living Stones Fellowship bring the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world and making disciples as we go.
