Foundation & Purpose

Building a Spiritual House

Living Stones Christian University was established by a fellowship of ordained ministers, missionaries, and Christian leaders united by a shared commitment to advancing the Kingdom of God through Christ-centered theological education grounded in the authority of Holy Scripture.

We operate exclusively for religious, ministerial, and ecclesiastical purposes. Our programs are specifically designed to prepare students for service within churches, ministries, faith-based organizations, and Christian education.

Our Mission

Equipping men and women of active religious conviction for vocational Christian ministry through rigorous theological education and practical ministry training.

Our Purpose

The fundamental and singular purpose of Living Stones Christian University is to equip and prepare men and women with active religious convictions to serve as religious ministers and ministry leaders.

Statement of Faith

We hold the Holy Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, serving as the final authority for faith, doctrine, and ministry practice.

Our Educational Philosophy

Living Stones Christian University is dedicated to teaching the truth of God’s Word, which renews the mind, transforms the heart, and conforms believers to the image of Jesus Christ.

As the Apostle Paul exhorted believers to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2), we seek to provide an education that honors God, advances His Kingdom, equips students for faithful Christian service, and prepares them to fulfill their divine calling in ministry, leadership, and discipleship.

Institutional Identity & Affiliations

The institution is led by ordained ministers and Christian leaders with active ministry experience and ecclesiastical affiliations, including ministerial service connections with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel and Ministerio Internacional Roca Eterna.

Religious Exemption Disclosure: Living Stones Christian University operates under the laws of the State of Florida and has received a Letter of Exemption from the Florida Commission for Independent Education (CIE) recognizing the University as a religious institution exempt from Commission jurisdiction pursuant to Florida Statute §1005.06(1)(f).
