Philosophy of Ministry
Cornerstone Community Church exists to make disciples who know Christ more fully and who make Christ more fully known
(Matthew 28: 19-20)
Purpose of Ministry
► Exalting our Lord through Worship
► Encouraging one another through Fellowship
► Enabling ministry through Stewardship
► Equipping believers through Discipleship
► Evangelizing unbelievers through Relationship
We humbly acknowledge that the purpose of Cornerstone Community Church can only be accomplished through the person of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of each individual believer in the congregation.
Our Denominational Affiliation
Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC)
The Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) is 25 years old and is celebrating these two decades and a half with an increasing commitment to ministering around the world for the Lord Jesus Christ. We commission missionaries to cross cultures and minister on our behalf by affiliating with mission organizations already set up and equipped to carry out missionary ministries. Our largest block of targeted peoples is Islam, focusing on unreached peoples, people without a viable, indigenous, and evangelizing Christian church movement among them. More details of the EPC can be found at www.epc.org.
Distinctives of the EPC include an openness and validation of all spiritual gifts with which the body of Christ has been endowed. Churches are encouraged to express these gifts as particular local fellowships are led. Women in ministry is an issue left to the local churches to decide. Church properties belong to the local bodies and not the denomination. The Word of God is held as the only infallible rule of faith and practice and is the foundation for seven Essentials of Faith we hold as those doctrines essential to all Christians and therefore base our fellowship with other churches on these Essentials of Faith. (See Essentials of Faith on this web page) Our motto is “In essentials, unity, in non-essentials, liberty, in all things, charity”
Cornerstone Church is a member of Presbytery of The West consisting of some 32 churches in the states of Kansas, Colorado, Arizona, Washington, and California. A complete listing can be viewed at www.epcwest.org.
