Are You the Next?
A Christ-centered program helping students grow strong on the foundation of God's Word. Faithful. Fun. Foundational.
— 1 Peter 2:5 (AMP)
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)Head. Heart. Hands.
We don't just teach facts — we guide students to know who God is, how to relate to Him, and how to live like Him.
Head
Think clearly about Scripture. Know what the Word actually says and what it means.
Heart
Love deeply and grow in character. Faith is not just intellectual — it shapes who we become.
Hands
Act intentionally on what you've learned. James 1:22 — we don't just listen, we do what it says.
"The world offers students a thousand voices. At Next Stones, we teach them to recognize God's voice, God's ways, and God's truth — in a way they'll never forget."
Find Your Place in the Building.
Placed by each student's stage of biblical growth — not by age. Explore all four levels and their Thursday class times.
Structured, not stiff.
We use a classical approach — thoughtful, repeatable methods that help students remember and apply what they've learned.
We're not a traditional school, but we do value structure and clarity. Students know what to expect and how to grow — and they look forward to coming back each week.
We teach directly from Scripture — Amplified Bible (AMP) and New Living Translation (NLT).
- 1Focused Bible teaching — one biblical truth per 4-week unit, taught step by step
- 2Verse memorization — using movement, games, and visuals (not flashcards)
- 3Guided discussion — questions that draw out the student's own thinking
- 4Group interaction — not lecture-only; students engage each other
- 5Hands-on learning & fun review — to lock in what was taught
A Heart for God. A Vision for Students.
"My passion is God. My focus is people."
I found Jesus at the age of 15 and have been learning to make Him the focus of my life ever since. That journey led me to Bible college and later to serve as a Youth Pastor for eight years.
Over the years, I've seen how easy it is — even in the church — to miss the simple, powerful basics of what Jesus wants for us. My heart is to bring those basics back, starting with students who are ready to grow.
Our Guiding Scriptures.
These verses reflect our mission, our values, and the kind of spiritual foundation we want to build in every student.
God desires His people to prosper in soul, body, and life.
God is the source of hope, joy, and peace through the Holy Spirit.
Students are called to live with kindness, patience, and love.
We don't just listen to God's Word — we do what it says.
We follow Jesus as the model for how to teach and live.
The cornerstone passage — we are living stones, built on Christ.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to be part of the learning process — whether that means reviewing verses at home, volunteering during class, or simply asking your student what they learned. We see parents as partners and want to support spiritual growth at home, not just in class.
What Families Are Saying.
Real parent testimonials will appear here once families have completed a Fall 2026 unit and signed a media release.
A short, honest quote about a student growing in confidence and love for Scripture will go in this spot.
