March 2023 Bulletin
Pastor Todd’s Health Update (3/7):
Thank you to those of you who have been praying for Pastor Todd's recovery from his recent hip replacement. If you missed the update on social media (from 2/25), you can find it on Instagram or Facebook. Since then, we've seen him pop into the office a few times, which has been really encouraging, and we're expecting to see him back in the pulpit soon. So thank you for your continued care, encouraging words, and prayers for the Nighswongers! We sure do love this church family!

About us
We are a multi-ethnic, multi-generational community of disciples, who are seeking to learn from Jesus, trust Jesus, become like Jesus, and help others do the same. Our mission is to give every individual an accurate picture of God by helping those who believe become fully devoted followers of Christ.
Sermon Notes & Community Group Questions
Every week, we provide Community Guides based on each Sunday’s teaching; they include a portion on the Lord’s Supper, a sermon overview, questions for you to discuss as a group, and missionary practices for the week ahead. As your whole community gathers (in-person or online), use the guides to help give shape to your time together.
Need prayer? We would love to know how to pray for you.
Interested in becoming a member of Cornerstone? We believe that membership is the commitment to being a disciple and making disciples of others (Matt. 28:18-20) in partnership with the other members and elders of Cornerstone.
Baptism is a physical act and visual representation that communicates the inward change of believers who have come to faith by grace in Jesus Christ. If you’re interested in getting baptized, fill out our form below!
