Core Values

  • While we have many values as a church, the following ones especially stand out for Cornerstone. These are the key behavior patterns we will hold ourselves rigorously accountable to in living out our Vision and Mission:

 
  • Prayer

    We strive to pray without ceasing, in order to draw near and minister to God, and participate in bringing about His will on earth.

    (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Matthew 6:10)

     

    Faith & Obedience

    We show our trust in God’s faithfulness and goodness by doing
    what He says.

    (James 2:17)

     

    All-of-Life Spirituality

    We grow in Jesus by offering every aspect of our lives to God.

    (Romans 12:1-2)

     

    Unity-in-Diversity

    We celebrate each person’s uniqueness, while eagerly pursuing loving, harmonious relationships with each other.

    (Ephesians 2:14-18; 4:3; Romans 12:4-5)

     

  • Biblical Hospitality

    We welcome the stranger into our church, homes, hearts and lives as God has welcomed us in Christ.

    (Leviticus 19:33-34; Hebrews 13:2)

     

    Empowerment

    We encourage and equip people to discover and live out their God-given gifts, passions, and callings in all arenas of life.

    (1 Corinthians 12:7; Ephesians 4:11-12)

     

    Generosity

    We are called to be extravagantly generous because God has been extravagantly generous to us in Jesus.

    (2 Corinthians 8:7-9)

     

    Creativity

    We enjoy the freedom to adapt and innovate in life and ministry according to God’s purposes.

    (Genesis 1:27-28)
