This ministry focuses on providing opportunities for people to experience community within our church and also encourages individuals to serve the Frisco area in real and practical ways.

Community Care is all about showing the love of Christ to those around us. We do this by creating opportunities for people to experience community here at Stonebriar as well as reaching out and serving our community. We offer events where people can get to know the church and our Stonebriar family and feel comfortable inviting friends, neighbors, or co-workers.

Beyond These Walls

Beyond These Walls is a Community Care group that focuses on ministering outside the walls of our church. This group is for people of all ages and walks of life. Beyond These Walls meets the second Sunday of each month after second service from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in Room A211/213 for a time of Bible devotion, prayer, and discussion on upcoming Community Care opportunities. 

Isaiah 58:10 has been a wonderful reminder for all of the members of this group to be part of something larger than themselves, "If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."
