Are You the Next?
A Christ-centered program helping students grow strong on the foundation of God's Word. Faithful. Fun. Foundational.
"Come to Him [the risen Lord] as to a living Stone which men rejected and threw away, but which is choice and precious in the sight of God. You believers, like living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ."
— 1 Peter 2:4–5 (AMP)
At Next Stones, we know families grow stronger when they build on the Cornerstone—Jesus Christ.
Next Stones is here to help building a Strong Biblical Foundation for the Next Generation. Christ is the cornerstone. We are called to be the Next Stones! BE THE NEXT!
Students aren't just learners. They're living stones.
Faith filled life-long learners
At Next Stones, we believe students are more than learners — they are living stones, built on the perfect cornerstone: Jesus Christ.
We Equip parents to strengthen their homes with God's Word, and help students develop a biblical worldview that prepares them for life.
We offer in person weekly classes for students ages 6 to 18. We have heard your requests and we are currently working to also have online classes and tools for families who are not local and still want to grow with us!
We believe children are not just the church of tomorrow—they are the church of today. At Next Stones, students discover who God is and how to walk in His truth with confidence and wisdom.
You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house…
— 1 Peter 2:5 (AMP)Intentional, discussion-based learning that draws students into the truth of Scripture.
Think Clearly
Think clearly about Scripture. Know what the Word actually says and what it means.
Seek Truth
Seek the truth of what God says, and not what the world has decided through studying, prayer, and wisdom.
Act Intentionally
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."
Classes advance as your student is ready. This is round table learning, so it's easy to have the same conversation with your younger children then move into deeper discussion with your older children. They will all learn from each other's questions and responses.
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.
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.
Fall 2026
This fall, we're digging into how we got the Bible we hold today — the councils that shaped the canon, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and who the Essenes were. Students will see firsthand how faithfully God's Word has been preserved across centuries.
Thursdays · Aug 20 – Dec 3, 2026
Ever'man Educational Building · 1000 E. Nine Mile Road · Pensacola, FL 32514
Students must be enrolled prior to August 13th. More information is on the sign-up form.
You're not dropping off. You're partnering.
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.
