I'm New

Welcome

Standing Stone Bible Church is a place to call home. We are a group of Christ-followers who engage in life-giving community. Perhaps you do not yet know Jesus to where your life has been truly impacted by Him. On the other hand, you may be one who has a mature, fruitful relationship with Jesus and desire to continue growing in the grace and knowledge of Him while serving alongside others. Likely you are just somewhere in the middle. Perhaps Standing Stone Bible is the place for you. We would love to learn more about you while you learn of us. Join us for a Sunday service.

What To Expect ON Sunday morning

When you walk in our front doors, you'll be greeted - you probably will not touch a door handle on your way into the building. Expect some smiles and a warm "hello." You might grab a cup of coffee and visit with some of our friendly greeters or hosts. Attire is "come as you wish." You'll see a few suits and ties as well as shorts and t-shirts.

Our typical worship service runs about 75-80 minutes. We sing a mixture of contemporary and traditional music led by one of our worship teams. You'll notice most folks stand while singing. There is childcare available for nursery-age children. Prior to the sermon during the worship service, we do release younger elementary-age children for children's church; this is entirely optional as many of our parents prefer to have their children alongside of them for the entire service.

The first Sunday of each month is unique as we partake of communion. While we do not require membership to join us in communion, we do insist that you be a Christ-follower. Thus, we ask parents to be mindful of their little ones who may not yet understand the significance. You are also not obligated to join us in sharing. Also on that first Sunday, we have a "Pot-Trust" (not "luck") meal after. . . join us if you can and do not be concerned if you have not brought anything to share.

If you join us for Sunday school, ask our hosts for information on the classes that are available. You'll find a few adult class choices and classrooms for all children and youth. We would love to show you around and ensure you get to a classroom easily. Below, you will find a listing of our current class options.

Where we are located

We are in Gretna, Nebraska at 321 South Highway 6.

We are located off of US Highway 6/31 in Gretna, Nebraska. Gretna is a rural community southwest of Omaha, Nebraska. Our building is less than a mile south of Highway 370 and about 3.5 miles north of I-80.

As Highway 6/31 curves through town to go southwest (from 370) or northeast (from I-80), you'll find us on the south side of the road. To the north is Meadow Drive into a Gretna neighborhood. We have two entrances: One directly accessible to Hwy 6 and another in the Willow Park neighborhood, off of Willow Park Drive. As you leave, you might even prefer to exit through the neighborhood to avoid highway traffic.

We look forward to meeting you soon.
