'LIVING STONES CHRISTIAN CENTRE' in the village of Kilmartin is the meeting place for a group of Christians previously known as The Renewal Fellowship which was formed in 1973 in the early days of the Charismatic Renewal in Scotland. We are an independent, charismatic, evangelical church made up of people from many different church backgrounds but 'all one in Him'.

In the following years meetings were held in members homes on Poltalloch Estate and as the fellowship grew in numbers and circumstances changed a new meeting place was required. In the interim the Kilmartin Church of Scotland Hall was made available to the fellowship.

Then in the year 2000-01 land became available on a development site at Kilmartin and the 'Living Stones Christian Centre' was opened on April 20th 2002, the culmination of many years of prayer for the 'right place'. Friends came from all over Great Britain to celebrate the event and praise God for honouring those prayers.

Regular weekly meetings are held in the Centre with a strong emphasis on lively worship, ministry of the Word and openness to the gifts of the Spirit. A number of people have told members of the fellowship that they found these meetings to be occasions when they have been refreshed, given a new direction in their lives or had an encounter with God which began a new relationship with Him through Jesus. Others have described the 'Living Stones Christian Centre' as an 'oasis' and indeed one family who holiday in the area describe it as a 'filling station'. We are here to encourage each other to enhance our relationship with Jesus and God as our Father and also with each other as His Church.
