Lievestuore is an urban area (taajama) in Laukaa, Finland, located in the southeastern part of the municipality on the southern shore of lake Lievestuoreenjärvi.

The name is probably not of Finnish origin, possibly being derived from a Sámi language and morphed into a more "Finnish-sounding" form over time.

[6] Before the area was settled in the 16th century, the shores of the Lievestuoreenjärvi were hunting grounds of Tuulos, specifically the villages of Juttila and Toivaala.

In 1560, a Savonian named Paavali Puttonen had settled on the hunting grounds of Toivaala, establishing the Naaranputtola farm.

[10] The village of Lievestuore comprised five divisions (jakokunta) in 1776: Markkula, Montola, Rusila, Simuna and Hytölä.

Kangas-Naaranputtola included an external territory called Hohonmaa on the southern shore of the lake, which was deemed unsuitable for farming and became crown land.

The municipality was also planned to include parts of Hankasalmi, Toivakka, Kangasniemi and Jyväskylän maalaiskunta and cover a territory with a total population of 4,851.

[20] Since 1950, a congregation hall on lands rented by the parish of Laukaa had acted as a church for the people of Lievestuore.

A decision to build a proper church was made in September 1979 as the congregation hall had become too small and construction began in May 1982.
