who we are
Cornerstone Baptist Church is a unified body of Christian families that exists to promote the will of God through:
- EXPOSITORY preaching
- EVANGELISTIC outreach
- EXALTATION of the triune Godhead
- EDIFICATION of the saints.
We believe Cornerstone to be an upward looking, outward looking, and inward looking church. We look upward in that we believe all ministries should bring glory to our Heavenly Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. We look outward in that we believe Cornerstone should be evangelistically intensive. And we look inward because we believe the church should also edify the saints so that they might do the work of the ministry. These reasons drive our purpose and mission statements.
