You don’t have to spend much time at Cornerstone before you realize that we like talking about Jesus and sharing the Good News with those who don’t know him! The role of Missions is to help the Cornerstone family take this passion and share our faith beyond the walls of the church, particularly in those places where there is no Christian community.
Cornerstone’s missional efforts focus on mercy ministries, evangelism, discipleship, pastoral training and church planting. This takes place through engaged Cornerstone members and in formal partnerships with individual missionaries, Christian non-profits and global missions organizations. In this way, we have the honor and privilege to support the proclamation and demonstration of the Gospel here, near and far.

Local Outreach
Sharing the Gospel and living out our faith is a personal responsibility that begins at home…literally, in our homes and in our neighborhoods. It then extends into the broader community around us where we work, shop and play. Each member of Cornerstone Church is encouraged to respond to Jesus’ declaration in Acts 1:8 that we are to serve as witnesses about him wherever God sends us. We also have the privilege of serving God as a community.
One of the ways we witness corporately is through our area schools, which play an integral role in the development of the rising generation. For this reason, Cornerstone seeks to offer a Christ-centered presence in area schools through a number of outreach efforts.
Pre-K through Elementary
Middle and High School
Care for the Homeless
Another way that Cornerstone ministers in our community is by serving the materially poor through local shelters. We believe that every person is made in the image of God, deserving of dignity and of value to our Father. Through service, we take part in the ministry of reconciliation, trusting that God will use our words and deeds to promote healing and wholeness through relationship with Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 5:18-19).
GLOBAL OUTREACH
God has also opened many doors for Cornerstone Church to engage in the Great Commission, which calls us to make disciples of all nations. Internationally, Cornerstone supports several evangelistic ministries and pastoral equipping efforts. We also seek to empower churches in the 10-40 window to share the Gospel. We encourage all those who call Cornerstone home to be informed about the following ministries, intercede prayerfully on their behalf and engage as missional opportunities are announced throughout the year.
