Stone Worship Center & Auditorium

Mason, OH

10,807 SF Addition / The Christian Villages Senior Living

The Christian Villages opened the doors to the new Stone Worship Center and Auditorium in December 2021, named in honor of former Christian Standard editor Sam E. Stone and his wife, Gwen. The new auditorium features a 350-seat worship center, along with a gathering space for residents of the 85-acre senior living community north of Cincinnati. The Stone Center is much larger than the pre-existing chapel, which can seat only 99 people. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the old chapel hosted three services a week to accommodate the demand. The enlarged space offers much more potential for new programming and also has a gathering space for residents that includes a coffee shop. Skylights provide plenty of natural light. Residents can use the space for informal gatherings or simply to play cards or read books. The facility also has a catering kitchen for banquets.
