Our Vision

Cornerstone’s vision is to become a disciple-multiplying church that impacts our communities as we love God, love people, and lead others in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

We want to be a great church where…

  • The Bible is taught and put into practice as we live out the Great Commission according to the Great Commandments.

  • Elders are spiritual guardian shepherds.

  • Staff equip believers to become leaders of disciple makers.

  • Disciples are making disciples who make disciples.

  • Everyone is progressively taking their next transformational spiritual step.

  • Worship is participative.

  • Environments are relational.

  • The community is positively impacted.

  • We multiply ourselves, our groups, and our church (by planting or multi-site).

Our focus is on multiplying disciples in Meeker County and all the communities represented in our church, then reaching other rural communities with the gospel of Christ by ensuring the presence of a thriving church in every county in the Upper Midwest. We will accomplish this by:

Multiplying In Communities

Reach all of the communities represented in Cornerstone with the gospel of Jesus Christ and multiply (not just add) disciples through the Cornerstone Discipleship Pathway.

Multiplying Wisdom

Provide resources for rural churches through coaching, cohort leadership groups, and the Cornerstone Collaborative — a national network of churches in rural communities.

Multiplying Leaders

Mobilize, train, and send out prepared staff to serve in rural churches through the Cornerstone Discipleship Pathway.

Our Mission

We exist to live out the five biblical purposes of life and to help others do the same in and through Cornerstone Church.

the five purposes

Glorify | Belong | Grow | Serve | Go

In short, we love God, love people, and we’re about leading people in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our Focus

We're a community of faith where people BELONG to each other and God, GROW to be like Jesus, SERVE to make a difference in the name of Jesus, and GO take the gospel to the world bringing GLORY to God.

The first purpose of life is knowing, loving, and worshipping God. This is often called Worship.

  • At Cornerstone, we call this glorifying.

The second purpose of life is to love others. This is often called Fellowship.

  • At Cornerstone, we call this Belonging.

 The third purpose of life is growing to maturity. This is often called Discipleship.

  • At Cornerstone, we call this Growing.  

 The fourth purpose of life is to serve God by serving others. The Bible calls this Ministry.

  • At Cornerstone, we call this Serving.

 The fifth purpose of life is to tell others about Him. This is often called Evangelism.

  • At Cornerstone, we call this Going.
