GENERAL OVERVIEW

Cornerstone Christian Community Church is a non-profit, Christian organization. The Church operates a community centre-style facility that is open 7 days per week, serving our local community through Sunday gatherings, midweek programs, and community events. For more information, check out our About Us page.

OUR HEART FOR WORSHIP

We view our Sunday gathering as an intentional, spiritually formative space—a divine dialogue where God initiates and His people respond. Approaching every detail with this posture, our Worship Ministry shapes services that “make space for Jesus to shape people together in God’s love.” We point people to Jesus through diverse expressions of worship: including music, liturgy, communion, giving, prayer ministry, and baptism, as well as technical production and special worship spaces beyond Sunday. If Jesus is remembered most at the end of our gatherings, we have accomplished our goal.
