"Gun Violence and Gospel Values" Video Clips

Gun Violence has reached devastating proportions in the United States.  Concerned people gathered at Stony Point Center this past September to learn about gun violence and explore ways the Church of Jesus Christ can respond and live out its role to bring peace where there is violence.  Leading thinkers and organizers educated the attendees on how Gospel values can transform our culture's acceptance of gun violence.  The goal was to provide hands-on analysis and action ideas for how to lead us to build a culture of peace.

These clips are from Rev. Jim Atwood's Theological Reflection speech given at the conference.

New Look for the entranceway! 
We are grateful to the Friends of Stony Point Center for their generous support of our mission.  They recently funded a much needed face-lift to our reception area in Lakota.  It's been a joy to watch guests be comfortable as they relax after a meal or read the paper before their meeting.  Blessings to our dedicated 'Friends'.

SPC Wish List


We have many wonderful programs that center around music.  We hope to continue to offer music related programming for children and adults, and dream of a concert series here at the Center.  To do this, we need a concert quality baby grand piano.  World-class musicians demand concert quality instruments!  Spread the word. 

If you can help, please call 800-253-4285 x110 and ask for Pam.
