Cornerstone exists because of Jesus. We are a people who have been transformed by the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, God has forgiven us and adopted us into his family. Now, we have a whole new life.
Through the gospel, God redeems us, forgives us, and adopts us into his family. The good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection makes each one of us a new creation and gives us a new identity: children of God. This is why we can never think of the church as an organization or a building. The church is actually a family—God’s family, filled with redeemed sinners that are now his children.
Through the gospel, God forgives us, adopts us into his family, and makes us his disciples. This means that the church is not just any family. We are a family formed by God—and sent out with a purpose.
The church is a family that ministers to one another, cares for one another, and builds one another up. Each member of the family is a child of God who is uniquely gifted to bless the family and to be a light in our city.
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.
This interactive, lab-style class will offer ideas and practice for cross-cultural connection with friends and neighbors that are new to the message of the Bible.
“Science asks, ‘HOW are we here?’ Faith asks, ‘WHY are we here?’”
“The Bible is how God initiates, maintains, and deepens his relationship with you.”
“...If we zoom out and take into perspective Eve’s life as a whole, remembering that she was a real person, we can see there is so much more to her story.”
“Whenever we open the Bible, our posture towards it must be examined. For as much as we have come to read the Word of God, we must recognize, first and foremost, that the Word of God has come to read us.”
“Scripture contains all the words of God we need to be redeemed and to live the abundant life he has called us to live as his children.”
This class focuses on loving God by walking with him in a close personal relationship: listening to and learning from God in the Bible, speaking and relating to God in prayer, and internalizing and applying what God has said in heart work.
“God has universal and complete authority over us in our lives, and because the Bible is God-breathed, its words directly from the mouth of God, then the Bible also has universal and complete authority over us in our lives.”
“God is a God who speaks, and we should listen.”
“Humble submission to God requires that I make a diligent effort to make myself familiar with the whole Bible.”
