About Next Stones

Built on the Cornerstone.

"Next Stones exists to help students discover who God is — not just in theory, but in a way that transforms how they live."

Who We Are

Students aren't just learners. They're living stones.

At Next Stones, we believe students are more than learners — they are living stones, built on the perfect cornerstone: Jesus Christ.

Our classes help students understand who God is, how to know Him personally, and how to live in His truth every day.

We offer weekly 1-hour sessions focused on foundational truths of the Christian faith. Each 4-week unit includes Scripture, guided discussions, creative learning, and memory games — all designed to ignite a love for God.

You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house…

— 1 Peter 2:5 (AMP)
Our Mission

Three Commitments.

Everything we build rests on these three promises to the families who trust us.

Grow in Character

We help students grow in Christlike character — kindness, patience, and love — so that faith shapes who they become, not just what they know (Colossians 3:12–15).

Know the Word Daily

We teach directly from Scripture (AMP & NLT) so students learn to open the Bible for themselves and understand what God actually says.

Walk in Purpose

We guide students to live out what they've learned — doers of the Word, not hearers only (James 1:22) — walking closely with God every day.

Why "Next Stones"

The Story Behind Next Stones.

The name comes straight from Scripture. In 1 Peter 2:5, believers are described as living stones, being built into a spiritual house on the perfect cornerstone — Jesus Christ. Every student who walks through our door is a next stone: shaped, set in place, and built into something that lasts.

Next Stones began with a simple conviction — that even in the church, it's easy to miss the simple, powerful basics of what Jesus wants for us. So we set out to bring those basics back, starting with students who are ready to grow. A foundation laid clearly and biblically now is a foundation a young believer can build on for a lifetime.

We're not entertainment, and we're not a traditional school. We are formation — a classical, Christ-centered approach that treats students as capable and parents as partners. What stands strong was built stone by stone.

You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood…
