Since the earliest days of Christianity, the church has been a safe haven
for people with financial distress. Following the Biblical model found in Acts 2
and Acts 6, 12Stone® Church offers financial guidance and coaching for those
who lack the necessities of life, involving physical, mental
or emotional well-being,
as a result of poverty or temporary distress.
Benevolence is defined as assistance that is life-sustaining.
Benevolence
It is the practice of 12Stone® to first refer requests to organizations within the community that are better equipped to service those in need. For example, the Lawrenceville Cooperative and the Southeast Gwinnett Cooperative Ministries are well suited to provide rent, utility and food assistance. Additionally, we partner with a variety of organizations that provide assistance to those in need. Often, we will refer those seeking assistance to another organization that is better equipped to meet the unique needs of each person’s situation.
