kitch·en (kich'en) n. a room or place for the preparation and cooking of food. Webster's definition doesn't help us much, does it? But think about it. What is the most popular room in your home? Where do you end up when friends or family come over? The kitchen. This is where lasting friendships are made. And that's the kind of environment we are striving for in our small groups. Small groups are where people meet regularly for Bible study and prayer, and commit to accountability, friendship and support. They are the safe place to open your heart, share your life, and ask the tough questions. Small groups are where life change happens here at Stone Ridge, and we want to help you get there.
