Controversies
In 2014, 12Stone church was involved in the arrest and false conviction of David Justin Freeman, who had been a volunteer minister at the church. Freeman's conviction was ultimately overturned in 2017 on free speech grounds.

In 2016, 12Stone church was struck by vandals (whom the church reports did $10,000 worth of damage). The vandals left behind pamphlets describing their displeasure with the church's operations, and spray-painted scripture references suggesting that 12Stone church had turned God's house into a market.

The church and its head pastor have also made headlines for criticizing Colin Kaepernick's decision to protest by kneeling during the national anthem during a sermon, as well as a sermon in 2010 comparing acceptance of homosexuals to acceptance of pedophiles.
