Cornerstone is a missions-minded church!
|
|
We take great delight in participating in the Great Commission Christ gave to His church:
|
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
|
He sent us to go into all the earth with the glorious Gospel message of His redemptive love and offer of forgiveness for sinful mankind.
We acknowledge that the real need of every person is the same -- whether they live on the other side of our world' ,or on the other side of our street. It doesn't matter if they are wealthy or poor, educated or illiterate, male or female, young or old. The Bible teaches that every person will stand before the judgment seat of Jesus Christ, and that only those who trust in His atoning work on the cross of Calvary will be "saved" from eternal condemnation because of their sin.
It's our holy obligation and privilege as a body of believers to "go" as the Lord directed us, into all the world, proclaiming the Good News and sharing the love of Jesus Christ. At Cornerstone, we consider any endeavor outside our local congregation to be fulfilling this Great Commission of our Lord by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples, planting churches and relating to the whole-person needs of mankind -- both spiritual and physical. . . . these endeavors are the "mission" of the church.

| For "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." |
| But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? |
| How can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? |
| How can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? |
| How will anyone go and tell them without being sent? |
That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
Romans 10:13-15 NLT |
