Pastor Rick Webster     I came to know Jesus as my personal Savior in 1962.  If anyone had said at the time that I would one day be a pastor, I would have laughed at the idea.  How, you may ask, did I become the pastor at Living Stones Church?      I wish that I could say that I stayed on His path from 1962 until now, but I can't. I slipped away until 1969, when I heard for the first time that one could have a daily walk with the Lord. While in college, I met a young man who had that kind of relationship with Jesus. I re-dedicated my life and was filled with the Holy Spirit two years later. Where has this taken me?  God has allowed me to go to the mission field five times. I've ministered in Haiti, Saint Lucia and Jamaica. God really shook my world on each of those trips. I've also been privileged to work with teens and college-age young people for over twenty years. I've had many opportunities to share my testimony, locally and up and down the East Coast.      In 2001 I came on staff at Living Stones in a part-time capacity.  That soon led to becoming a full-time associate pastor.  In October of 2005, I accepted the position as pastor of Living Stones Church.      If I could sum up my life in as few words as possible, it would be, “But by God’s grace I would not be here.”     There is a scripture in Jeremiah 29:13 which says, "And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." I have learned a lot in the past ten years, but the thing I've learned most is to have compassion for those that hurt, because I understand. I've been there.
