About Cornerstone Church

Cornerstone Church is an evangelical church that is independent of governance, but united with Christians around the world and throughout history in upholding the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We hold the Bible to be the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct and weigh all our teaching against its standard.

We believe the teachings outlined in the creeds (known commonly as The Apostles’ Creed, The Nicene Creed and The Athanasian Creed) are faithful expressions of the teaching of the Christian Scriptures.

We hold to the Reformation teaching that God’s rescue comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in the Person and work of Christ alone as revealed in the Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone.

Basis of Belief

We hold to the following summary of the Christian message as our Basis of Belief

  • The Unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Godhead
  • The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgment
  • The divine inspiration and entire trustworthiness of Holy Scripture as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct
  • The universal sinfulness and guilt of all people since the fall, rendering them subject to God’s wrath and condemnation
  • Redemption from the guilt, penalty, dominion and pollution of sin, solely through the sacrificial death (as our representative and substitute) of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God
  • The bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead and his ascension to the right hand of God the Father
  • The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the regeneration of the believer
  • The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone
  • The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer
  • The one holy universal Church which is the body of Christ and to which all true believers belong
  • The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ
