Stone Arbor Church - Riverside, California

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 God's 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. It's a place where people truly care about one another and support each other in every season of life. There's 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 you're 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.

I understand how to read the Bible, relate to people who are different than me, and how to have a relationship with God so much more because of the sermons at Stone Arbor. I also have learned a lot and grown because the people here really have invested time getting to know me and offering biblical perspective and counseling when I have asked for it. The community I have found here has changed my life and encouraged growth in my faith!

God has truly blessed this church within the community. With each "next step", Stone Arbor is dedicated to sharing God's word. He has opened doors for His will to be fulfilled. It's a blessing to see the church family grow. We invite you to join us at our evolving Glenhaven Campus on Sundays.

It is a wonderful church community for anyone to take their next steps with Jesus. My children, ages 10 & 12, love coming, and know God's word, and what it looks like to do life God's way. My husband and I have benefited from the various sermon series. We are home 🙂

Our family has been at Stone Arbor for several years. It has been a gift to us. We’ve developed really sweet friendships, our kids have made friends, and we’ve learned so much about how to do life Gods way. The practical application of God’s word to our lives has made all the difference. We have learned how to be married, how to parent, how to lead and follow well in work settings, and more as we’ve walked alongside others who are also trying to learn Gods ways. What’s unique about Stone Arbor is that there is an incredibly inclusive attitude. People actually make space in their lives for new friendships, which is pretty rare.

I’ve been at Stone Arbor for 8 years now and am so thankful for my time here. This church displays Biblical community at its core. Pastor Josh De La Rosa continually and clearly preaches Biblical truths from the Bible and I can always leave with a next step to deepen my walk with Christ. I am grateful for the deep friendships I’ve made and am grateful for this church!
