Cornerstone Christian Church was founded with several specific goals. One core issue for the founding members and leaders was the whole-hearted support of missions. To this end from the first meeting, the decision was made to give 50% of all general funds received by the church to support missions and missionaries, both at home and abroad. The first committee established for our small group of Christians was the Missions Committee, elected to select the missions we would support from day one forward.
We have seen God do amazing things at Cornerstone as a result of our strong commitment to missions. By God’s grace, we have been able to support missions locally and worldwide through monthly and one-time gifts. In addition to the Missions Committee, which is responsible for wisely disbursing these funds, we also take mission trips, which are open to all members of the church. In our first nineteen years, we have sent short-term teams to India, Guatemala, Papua New Guinea, Turkey, Tanzania, Australia, Brazil, Thailand, and the Dominican Republic.
By God’s grace, we also support a number of local missions that minister to underprivileged adults and children; new refugees; prisoners, foreign students temporarily in the US, pro-life, men, women and families in need, due to chemical dependency or after incarceration; and sex-trafficking victims. Periodically these local missions need additional help. If you have an interest in working directly with any of these ministries, the Missions Committee members or the church staff will be happy to help you connect with a group or ministry that touches your heart.
