Meet The Team

Cornerstone is a non-denominational, fundamental church. Non-denominational means people from all backgrounds are welcomed to worship with us, and we are not affiliated with a particular Christian denomination. Fundamental means we believe in and are founded on the absolute truth of the Bible. All our beliefs and teachings are from the Holy Scripture as our authority for everything we teach and do. If it’s in the Bible, we believe it and teach it.

Our governmental structure is episcopal rather than presbyterian or congregational. This is not to suggest an affiliation with the Episcopal denomination. Rather, this means our hierarchical structure is “from God to the pastor to the leaders to the people.” Our goal is to keep the government of the church as simple as possible so the work of God is not hindered by bureaucracy. We have many lay leaders who assist the pastor and assistant pastor in performing the functions and leadership of the church.
