Join us for a time of prayer for our missionary partners who serve around the world. You will get to know them by face and name, where they are serving and the work that the Lord is doing through them in the various nations they serve. This is a time to lift both specific needs and general prayer, asking God for their strength, protection, provision and guidance as they serve in often very difficult circumstances and situations. If you are interested in praying with us, we meet quarterly on a Tuesday evening from 6:30 – 8:00pm.

Fall ‘25 Groups & Classes
Reading Plan + Bible Discovery Groups
One of the most important habits for followers of Jesus is reading and/or listening to the Bible. For many Christians, this important rhythm was either never begun or has been set aside. Therefore, we want to provide an opportunity for every person that calls Cornerstone their local church family to not only read/listen through the New Testament, but to then get together to learn how to properly engage, ask questions, and apply the scripture you are reading.
Our Bible Discovery Groups will be available weekly to connect and discuss the reading. You can pick up a paper copy of the reading plan at the Connect Table on Sunday morning. Click here to go to the online version of the reading plan.
