To become a God-centered
community of obedient believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
To become …
At Cornerstone Church we recognize we are in a growing
process. We will always be in this process until Christ
returns. Our desire is that as time passes, our church
will continually reflect a maturing character and commitment
to Christ, yet remain constantly aware of our need to
draw even closer to Him.
… a God-centered …
We desire God to be the focus of everything we do .
In a man-centered society, we believe the church should
stand in contrast. Church is not about what God can
do for men, but about how men were created to worship
and glorify God. We seek to celebrate, praise and worship
God for who He is, for all He has done and for what
He will do. God-centeredness is the result of people
who are seeking to fulfill the "greatest commandment;"
to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and
strength.
… community of …
Community results from having common purposes, desires
and activities. Our heart is to be a family of believers
whose community revolves around our relationships to
Christ. When we gather - one on one, and in small or
large groups - we want Christ to be evident in everything
from our words to our actions. As we seek to build our
relationships with each other, community will develop
and deepen.
… obedient believers …
Obedience is the result of submitting to Christ, trusting
in His truths, and having faith in His provision. Knowing
truth and obeying truth are two completely different
things. Obedience is, at times, a difficult choice,
but we want to put into practice all we know. Our ambition
is to be careful doers of the Word, and to be a community
willing to submit to Christ's authority and ready to
actively obey His commands.
… in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We celebrate Jesus and His Lordship in our lives. He
is our Savior, our Master and our King. It is at the
name of Jesus that every knee will bow and every tongue
confess that He alone is Lord. Because God the Father
has exalted His son Jesus, our aim as a church is to
bring glory to God through exalting Jesus Christ as
our Lord.
