We're Glad You are Here
You might be wondering, what it's really like at Cornerstone? Simply stated, at Cornerstone we're all about Jesus. We don't treat people with shame, guilt, or condemnation; we don't care how people are dressed or their political preference. Our church is made up of imperfect people with diverse backgrounds.
No matter your place in life or current situation, just know that this is a safe place, and we’re so glad to have you here.
Who We Are?
We are a smaller, but welcoming congregation that knows Jesus Christ is the centre of our life. He not only holds life together, but gives life meaning beyond the ups and downs of circumstances.
We exist here as a family building our lives on the true Cornerstone, Jesus Christ
Trends come and go, but we believe churches should feel timeless. With the forceful current of constant change sweeping over every part of our lives, people have the need to connect with something enduring and firm. We believe Christ designed the church to fulfill that need by representing an eternal kingdom and ageless truth with no need to imitate the culture. We want you to know that Cornerstone is still a church that feels like a church. It won’t feel like a rock concert, comedy club, or motivational seminar. It’s not old-fashioned, as in 50 years ago. It is timeless, as in 2000 years ago.
We invite you to come visit Cornerstone Baptist Church this Sunday!
