Child Dedication

We are excited and honored to have the opportunity to dedicate your child to the Lord. Child dedication is not a replacement for water baptism, as that will be a personal decision made by your child later in their life. We know that God loves all His children. Child dedication was modeled for us in the Bible as Jesus was brought to the temple by His parents to be dedicated to the Lord. At Cornerstone we love that we get to partner with parents as they spiritually lead their kids on this journey. 

Sisters In Christ Retreat

Sisters in Christ host 5 retreats - March-July.  These monthly retreats are limited to 12 women at each. Maybe you are stressed, anxious or just so busy.  Come to the retreat to relax for 24 hours as the team pours into you about sitting at the feet of Jesus. Fill out this form as an application to prepare for this amazing weekend!

Men of Action

Cornerstone’s outreach ministry working with our Men’s ministry is beginning a new outreach called Men of Action.  We’ll be focusing on the needy in our church family and our community around us, including ramps, outside cleanup and other jobs.  Many different skills could be used depending on the project; commitment times and days will vary.  It could even involve helping with short term disaster relief and missions trips.  

Cornerstone Internship

Are you ready for an experience that will equip you to fulfill your God Given potential now and in your future? Our strategy is to create a successful experience through hands-on discipleship, leadership, team-building skills, and exposure to the ministries within Cornerstone. At the end of this internship, we want you to have increased your knowledge of God's Word and discovered and developed your calling. You will engage in rotations throughout the different ministries at the church, learning about and working within these various ministries. The internship lasts one year, and working will be a minimum of 10 hours weekly, including weekdays and Sundays.

Take Your Next Steps!

Tired of being stuck in your faith? Sick of not being able to understand the Bible? Ready to go deeper with Jesus? The Bible Engagement Project is our pathway to discipleship via learning and living the Word of God. The Bible is God's clearest method of speaking to us and the final authority to tell us what is true and what is not. Far too few people know it. We want to change that. Here you will find a group of like minded people lead by a inspiring teacher who will guide you to Practical, Emotional, and Missional engagement with the Bible. Sign up for one of our classes and join as soon as this week!
