Stone Village Church Bible Study is an open ministry tailored for our LGBTQI friendly, contemplative community in the Short North of Columbus. Join us weekly.

B.S.@ the Stone



B.S @ The Stone is Stone Village's offerings focused on Biblical and Spiritual studies. Our conversations and gatherings are guided by published curriculum, the Bible, theological reflections, devotions, art, and personal narratives. Our goal is not to memorize the Bible or to become a community of religious and theological certitude, rather our goal is to allow God to take root in our lives, to change us, to inspire us, and to help us to become our best self as we strive to always be a good neighbor.


All of Stone Village's biblical and spiritual gatherings are open ministry offerings. If you have questions, please contact

Pastor John.

Lenten Devotional Workshop

As the Lenten season approaches, Stone Village will be hosting a writing workshop to create daily Lenten devotional. The Lenten series will be published daily, beginning on Wednesday, March 5 (Ash Wednesday) and concluding on Sunday April 20 (Easter).


What is a devotional? In simple terms, a daily practice of spiritual reflection. Typically, a devotional begins with a scripture reference, followed by a personal reflection, which may conclude with a prayer. The purpose of a devotional is to help the reader focus on God’s teachings as well as deepen and strengthen one’s spiritual life.


The workshop will be held at Stone Village on Saturday, February 8 at 10:30-noon. Participants will write their personal devotion based on a scripture lesson of their choosing. Coffee and pastries will be on-hand for the workshop. If you’re interested in participating or have questions, please contact Pastor John.

The Artist's Way

If you have always wished to pursue a creative dream, play and create with words or paints, and discover and develop the artist within, then this offering is for you! The Artist’s Way is an exploration of self in the midst of community, focused on nurturing self-growth and discovery through conversation and a wide array of artistic exploration.


The Artist’s Way Life Group will be led by Heather Monkmeyer and Joan Krause, meeting on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month from 6:30 – 8 pm at Stone Village beginning on Tuesday, October 1st and concluding in March. If you’re interested in participating, please contact Pastor John.
