More Ways To Grow
“Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:46-47
One of the best ways men, women and youth grow in their faith is by getting together with others for bible study, discussion, prayer and fellowship. This stimulates our faith and strengthens both the individual believer and the body of Christ.
Sunday School & Nursery
Children have the opportunity to engage in Sunday School starting at 9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings. Junior Church is available for children ages 4 years old to 3rd Grade during the morning worship service. At Junior Church, children participate in worship, delve into Bible lessons, and enjoy game time. These programs offer a fulfilling and enriching experience for children, providing parents with peace of mind during the adult service. A nursery room is available for parents to use to care for their little ones. The church is happy to maintain the nursery room, keep it stocked with supplies, and make it available for parents to use. However, please be advised, the church does not provide or offer any church staff or volunteers for the nursery room. Parents are responsible for the care of their own children in the nursery.

Come be a part of Cornerstone Kids every Wednesday evening, spanning from October to April! Cornerstone Kids stands as our community outreach ministry on Wednesday nights, specifically tailored for children ages 4 to 8th Grade. The sessions begin at 6pm and end around 8pm. Our Cornerstone Kids program kicks off with a collective worship/praise session, followed by a shared dinner, and then divides into groups for Bible study and gym activities.

Global and Local Missions
Outreaches We Support
“But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, ‘How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news’”. Romans 10:14,15
Here at Cornerstone Bible Church, we believe missions is all about the command of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to spread His Gospel throughout the world, both near and far. Therefore, we support both local and international ministries that reach the lost and hurting.
Local Outreach
