BUILT ON
Faith,
BUILT FOR
PEOPLE.
More than
a building.
Cornerstone began in a living room in 2003 — twelve people, big faith, and a dream to build something that would actually change lives.
Today, thousands gather across three campuses every week, but our heartbeat is unchanged: every person matters, every story counts, and every week we expect God to move.
Core Values
Radical Welcome
Every person walks in exactly as they are — no pretense, no performance, no perfect past required.
Rooted in Scripture
The Bible is our anchor. We teach it honestly and openly, believing it’s alive and relevant to every real life.
Spirit-Led Worship
We make space for the Holy Spirit to move — in music, in prayer, in the quiet moments between the noise.
Justice & Generosity
Faith without action is incomplete. We’re committed to serving our city and the world beyond our walls.
