Dear Friends,
Few organizations have managed to combine fitness and spirituality as seamlessly as 5 Stones Fight Club and Gym. This unique partner ministry organization was founded with a clear and compelling purpose: to address the increasing absence of 18–35-year-old men in the church. Through the dynamic avenues of mixed martial arts and fitness, 5 Stones is not only fostering physical strength but also promoting spiritual growth and community engagement.
5 Stones Fight Club and Gym is not your typical gym. It’s a place where physical fitness meets spiritual enlightenment. The organization uses mixed martial arts as a tool to engage young men, helping them build not just muscles, but character and faith. The community that forms around this shared interest becomes a support network, fostering both physical and spiritual well-being.
The mission of 5 Stones extends far beyond the walls of their gym. Their impact is felt globally through dedicated mission trips. These trips, carried out by teams of 5-10 individuals, provide essential humanitarian aid, trauma medical training, and food and clothing to communities in need. Every mission trip is an opportunity to share God’s love and make a tangible difference in the lives of many.
A portion of the gym’s membership fees is funneled directly into these mission efforts. This self-sustaining model ensures that every workout and membership contributes to a larger cause, helping those in need both locally and internationally.
