For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me... ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me! - Jesus
Matthew 25:35-36 (NLT)
Cornerstone is passionate about reaching out beyond the local church to serve. Whether you want to jump in weekly, monthly, or annually, there is a way for you to get involved in our ministries and in our community to share God's love and follow the command of Jesus.

Nursing Home Chapel ServicesWe call our congregational care team the Cornerstone Care Connection. But we don't stop at caring for just for our own members. We minister at multiple "skilled care" facilities each month by leading a chapel service with singing, a Bible-based lesson and time to fellowship. We'd love for you to be a part of this ministry, especially if you can play piano, sing or play guitar!
