OUR PURPOSE We are so thrilled that you have chosen to listen to our podcast. We trust that you will feel the presence of the Lord and His leading through these spoken words. We here at Cornerstone Worship Center, serve a Risen Savior and that is the reason why we have so much joy in our celebration of Him.
We are a full Gospel church and that simply means that we believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God; this results in us teaching and preaching the truth of the Word. We believe that we serve a mighty God who wants to make us the best that we can be as God pours His gifts of the Spirit upon us. We also believe that these gifts should be used in the church service to edify the body of Christ. These gifts are to empower the believer as they choose to walk in the way of the Lord.
In addition, we believe that Jesus established the local church as His place to meet the needs of His people and to provide it as a place to teach and train individuals to fulfill His command to go into the world to preach the Gospel. This is the reason we broadcast world-wide, via Facebook, YouTube, and Podcasts. We are not only a local ministry, but we are also a world-wide ministry.
OUR CHURCH Cornerstone Worship Center was birthed on Sunday, October 1, 2000 in the home of Pastors Don and Ernestine Wolf. Within six months, after preparing the garage, services were moved into the garage to handle the people. A search was begun to locate another building to buy or to lease and none was found. In the summer of 2001, we purchased the five acres and phase one of our building took place and in February, 2002 we moved into our current location. Since that time, we have added three buildings, a home and garage and doubled the size of the sanctuary.
