Cornerstone History
Planted by seven families in 1998 Became a church in 2000 Purchased our facility in 2004
Worship Service Philosophy
Worship is coming into God’s presence to meet with Him and honor Him
God also intended worship to be a witness to non-believers
Inviting a non-member can be your first step in evangelism
When I’m preaching, you won’t be embarrassed inviting a non-member
