“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Matthew 20:28

At Cornerstone, we are committed to gathering as a church body to grow together and give sacrificially. This is all part of our mission to connect, commit, call, and ultimately look more like Jesus.
