Worship - Equip - Relate
Worship is central to all we do as a church here at Cornerstone not just Sunday, but everyday of the week. God is worthy of all our praise and adoration and we therefore seek to honor Him with our lives.
Equipping believers through sound Biblical teaching and discipleship is our mission. Helping our fellowship to apply God's truth in daily life is our focus.
Relating to and teaching our fellowship to effectively relate to others in our community and throughout the world for God's great glory is our goal. They will know we are Christians by our love.
Are you visiting? What can you expect.
- Expository Preaching - We are passionate about preaching the Word of God in such a way as to glorify God. We preach through complete books of the Bible.
- Pastoral Leadership - We are a pastor-led church under the governance of the church body, submitting to the authority of Christ according to His Word, for the joyful benefit of the church and the growth of His Kingdom.
- Baptist Theology - We are a congregation of committed Christ followers who have embraced God's grace in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and strive, by the enabling of the Holy Spirit, to glorify God in all we do.
- Corporate Worship - We gather weekly to worship together. We welcome all ages in our service and simply request that parents be mindful of and responsible for their children. Families are encouraged to worship together.
- Music - We believe that content is more important than style and so we read God's Word responsively and sing music that has theologically sound lyrics and is arranged to encourage congregational participation.
- Salvation and Discipleship - We unabashedly preach the Good News of Salvation so that all might believe. We encourage the Church to carry the light of the Gospel to our needy world. There is no salvation apart from a personal faith in Jesus Christ that is freely offered to all mankind. Come and follow, go and tell.

Our Leadership

We welcome believers from all backgrounds and strive to clearly teach the truths of the Bible. We endeavor to disciple believers so that they fall deeper in love with the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, and bring glory to His name.
