Can a church be both lively and rejected? Here at the Rejecte Stone MB Church in Chicago, this intriguing question seems to hang in the air. It’s a fascinating contrast to the Lively Stone M.B. Church, also in Chicago. Lively Stone’s history offers a glimpse into the spirit of faith and community. Founded on September 24th with just twelve members, including Pastor William Jenkins Sr., Lively Stone quickly grew. By 1979, they had moved to their location on West Chicago Avenue and established various choirs. The church continued to thrive, celebrating its 43rd anniversary with a special message from Pastor Jenkins Sr. and a grand 50th anniversary in 2016. They even hosted a mask giveaway during the COVID-19 pandemic, showcasing their commitment to serving the community. While the Rejecte Stone MB Church remains a mystery, the Lively Stone story provides a vibrant example of faith in action right here in Chicago. Perhaps it serves as an inspiration, a reminder that even in the face of rejection, faith can flourish.
