Missions and COVID 19

During COVID 19, we are striving more than ever to serve our neighbors in need. Sign up for our newsletter or follow us on social media to keep up to date on how we are helping our community during this time.

I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you gave me clothes to wear. I was sick and you took care of me. I was in prison and you visited me.
Matthew 25:35-36
Cornerstone is passionate about reaching out beyond the local church to serve. Whether weekly, monthly, or annually, there is a way for you to get involved in our community and beyond in serving those whom Jesus calls us to serve.

Through the sharing of our resources of time and finances, we seek to follow the command of Jesus:

Prison Ministry

The first Wednesday of every month, the Prison Ministry Team leads worship at the Craighead County Jail, seeking to share the love and hope of Christ in seemingly hopeless situations.
