Upcoming Events

Next Monthly Mingle - Sunday, August 28
Join us after our service on Sunday, August 28 for our next Monthly Mingle! The Monthly Mingle is a casual gathering after service to share food, drinks, and conversation with others that call Cornerstone home. It is meant to provide folks with an opportunity to get to know us and our ministry vision better. Refreshments will be shared potluck-style (please sign up HERE to contribute), though you do not need to bring anything to attend. Hope to see everyone there!

Pizza Party at Park View - Sunday, September 4
On Sunday (9/4) at 1:30 PM, our sister congregation Cornerstone Edgwater will be hosting an outdoor pizza party for the residents at Park View. As a supporting presence in that community, we’re hoping to build relationships as we break bread together and offer prayer. Come join us! You’re also invited to our weekly service right afterwards at 3:30 PM. Let us know if you’re interested by reaching out to Joel Brown at jbrown@greenhousemovement.com.

Upcoming Sermon Series: Forward Together
After a summer marked by transitions, it’s good for us to ask: how might God be calling us forward as a church? Throughout the month of September, join us as Fr. Kyle explores God's invitation to each of us to be part of his family--and how our church can live out our calling to be a family of God on mission together to share God's love with our city.
