“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone.” —Ephesians 2:19–20
Our name, “Cornerstone,” reminds us that our lives on earth and hope in heaven are built on Christ, the Cornerstone. We desire to provide opportunities for growth at both the personal level and within our church family as we strive to live as a church built on the person and work of Jesus Christ.
