Our History
Cornerstone United Methodist Church was established in 1999 when the Huntington Avenue UMC (est. 1913) voted to relocate and rebirth the church from downtown Jonesboro to our present location in the "Hilltop" region across Hwy 49 from NEA Baptist Hospital. We are very proud of our history and the faithful people who came before us but we're also focused on the vision God has for our future!
Cornerstone is part of the United Methodist Church, a denomination with approximately 5 million members. The Arkansas Annual Conference is part of the U.S. Regional Conference, a new decision-making body that focuses solely on issues affecting the U.S. church.
Methodism started as a spiritual movement led by John Wesley. From the earliest Methodist presence in the US colonies, the people called Methodists were passionate about changing lives through God’s grace in discipleship and service inside and outside of the church. That same passion lives in Cornerstone today! Come be a part of this ongoing spiritual movement as we follow Christ together.

Our Congregational Leadership
We are served and led by a single group of women and men who are elected to represent the full congregation. The Leadership Board works with the pastor and the staff to meet and achieve operational, ministry and fiduciary goals. The congregation (by vote) has the final say in major decisions that affect the entire church.
