Cornerstone’s Mission – What we will do.
Cornerstone’s personalization of the Great Commission.
We will:
Love people of all ages to salvation in Jesus Christ.
This involves building relationships with people, showing Christian concern for
them, and sharing our lives with them. We will love people enough to speak the
truth and explain to them the great news of Jesus’ desire to rescue them and draw
them into His family. We will help people cross over into an eternal relationship
with Jesus and be spiritually born as Jesus takes up residence inside of them.
Mend the broken to wholeness in Jesus Christ.
This involves helping people be set free from the emotional, physical, social and
spiritual bondages that are holding them back. We minister to the whole person
and help them become healthy, productive, victorious and joyous in their
relationship with Jesus.
Build the disciples to maturity in Jesus Christ.
We intentionally invest in people so that they continue to grow to be like Jesus in
their beliefs and behaviors. This involves helping people get connected to a
disciple-maker – a person who shepherds and mentors the person in spiritual
growth. The Word, worship, fellowship and service are crucial components of
fostering this spiritual growth.
Send the leaders to grow and multiply the Church of Jesus Christ.
Some people are called and gifted to be leaders. We will recognize and develop
these people. We will then help them be deployed in leading new ministries in our
church, in new churches nearby and all around the world.
