Cornerstone exists because of Jesus. We'd love to show you how your story matters to him, and how his story matters for you.
The church isn't an organization or a building. The church is a family—God’s family, filled with redeemed sinners that are now his children because of Jesus.
Just like a vine grows best with a good trellis, our church family grows best with good programs. Our programs and ministries are tailored to support the community and mission God has given us.
"Our family ministries are designed to support the whole family with equipping for parents and children."
The Bible is clear: the primary place children learn to follow Jesus is from their parents. At Cornerstone, we aren’t looking to replace the central role parents play. Instead, our family ministries support parents and childen as they grow together in the gospel.
Our goal is to equip parents for their role in the lives of their children. We offer resources like conferences, classes, devotionals, and Bibles to support parents. We also encourage close relationships amongst the families in our church, where parents can support one other.
Whenever possible, we make sure parents and children are learning the same thing at the same time. This means Sunday sermons and student community groups cover the same Bible passages. This way, parents and children can reflect on God’s word together throughout the week.
We all benefit when we interact with people outside our age range. For this reason, we include youth and children in most of our church life, from community groups to Sunday services. We are convinced this is best for teaching and displaying the gospel to our children—and to the rest of us as well.
Below are the different ways we minister to families and children at Cornerstone. For more information or questions, please contact Jeremy Neiditch (jeremy@cornerstonewla.org).
For children pre-K and younger, we provide nursery and Sunday school environments. Elementary school students join us in the Sanctuary for singing and prayer, and then are dismissed during the sermon for Children’s Church and Jr. Church. Middle and High School students are invited to join in the adult worship service.
Pre-K through 2nd grade students are invited to Cornerstone Kids @ 2.From 2-3:30pm on Sundays, they will focus on Bible memorization, building friendships, games, and learning from God’s Word.
Students in the 3rd-6th grade are invited to Fusion. At Fusion, they will spend time together exploring God’s answers to the "Big Questions" of life: Who are we? Why were we created? Who is God? Who is Jesus? What is salvation?
Catalyst is our middle school and high school community group, which exists to encourage and equip students to live with Jesus as Lord and Savior at home, at school, and in the local church. Catalyst meets during the 10am service on the first Sunday of the month. Contact chris.w@cornerstonewla.org for more info.
Each October, Cornerstone gathers together with our neighbors and friends for fun, games, and celebrating God’s provision. There is candy, jump houses, food, and more. We hope you join us, invite some old friends, and make some new ones.
Each summer Cornerstone’s elementary school students gather for a week of fun, learning from God’s Word, and celebrating the goodness of the gospel. The theme changes each year, but the message stays the same: the gospel of Jesus is everything.
We offer regular half-day conferences throughout the year, and regularly dedicate one to parenting. Our pastors, parents, and church leaders come together to provide biblical teaching for those in every stage of parenting. Listen to the last parenting conference below.
We love it when children are learning from God’s Word with their family, and we want to see every family enjoy devotional time together. We offer Children’s Bibles and our recommended family devotional, Old Story New, in our resource library.
