5 /5 Paolo Bilbao: Stone Arbor Church is an amazing church here in Riverside. I have been attending for about 8 years. From the moment you get on campus, the friendly and welcoming atmosphere immediately makes you feel at home. The worship area is inviting, which makes it the perfect environment to connect with God and other fellow believers. It is also a low-pressure environment, so if you’re checking church and Christianity for the first time, they really give you the space to explore what all of that means.
One of the standout ministries of this church is the safe and fun kids programming. As a father, I am relieved to know that my son is in a secure environment, learning about Gods love while having fun with their peers. This is also a help as we’re able to attend the church service without being distracted.
The sense of community here is unparalleled. Stone Arbor Church fosters genuine relationships that go beyond just Sunday services. Its a place where people truly care about one another and support each other in every season of life. Theres a strong sense of belonging, and no one feels overlooked or forgotten.
When it comes to preaching, Pastor Josh De La Rosa is committed to preaching the Scriptures and biblical values. Every message is rooted in the Word of God, faithfully teaching and encouraging us to live out the Gospel in our daily lives. The preaching is also incredibly Gospel-centered, reminding us of the hope and grace we find in Christ.
If youre looking for a church that offers a welcoming atmosphere, a safe space for your children, a strong sense of community, and faithful, Gospel-centered preaching, Stone Arbor Church is the place to be. It’s a place where you truly belong and can grow in your faith.
