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.

Throughout the story of Abraham and Sarah, God continually initiates. God chooses Abram and calls him to leave his homeland. God unilaterally makes promises and commitments to Abram. God enters into a covenant with Abram on His own terms. God changes Abram's name to Abraham. God fulfills the promise of a descendant for Abraham. And God provides a substitute sacrifice for Abraham's chosen son. Abraham and Sarah respond with shaky, imperfect faith- showing us how we too, in our own imperfections, can confidently submit ourselves to the God who initiates.
Why is it so important that God is the great initiator?
How have you seen God initiate with you in your life?
In what way does Abraham and Sarah's imperfect faith give you hope?
What practical steps of faith can you take in your life to take hold of the promises of God for you?
Matt serves Cornerstone by overseeing Family Ministries.
