Living Rock Cooperative
East Lansing, Michigan,
United States
 We are a community of Christian college-age men who live near the campus of Michigan State University. Our goal as a community is to encourage one another to spiritual growth, then to send spiritually mature members out of our small community into the regular world to allow God to use them as "reapers" or gatherers of the non-Christian harvest into God's kingdom. Daily life here for most might include reading the Bible, going to class, studying for school, participating in house or campus spiritual activities, and eating dinners and cooking them together, as well as cleaning and maintaining the house together. Occasionally we meet for house decisions, and we meet weekly for all-house prayer, Bible teaching, and worshiping God.
