Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. You also, as Living Stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ- 1 Peter 2:1-5

What is Living Stones Alliance?

Living Stones Alliance (LSA) was founded to strengthen and support leaders across faith-based, business, and community sectors who are committed to serving with excellence. Born out of the connections and insights gained through the Master of Nonprofit Management program, LSA exists to help churches, ministries, and community‑minded organizations elevate their administrative and governance practices—many of which have been relied on for generations. We bring together pastors, business owners, and community leaders who seek reputable, mission‑aligned opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow. Through targeted training, practical workshops, and meaningful networking events, we equip leaders with evidence‑based tools that build sustainable, effective, and efficient organizations. At LSA, we are dedicated to guiding a diverse network of helping professionals as they strengthen their governance, expand their impact, and continue developing both personally and professionally. Simply put - Living Stones is where our Faith & Works collide!
