Cornerstone’s Purpose:
It really helps when
you know and understand what you are supposed to be doing. This is
true on the individual level as well as the church level. At
Cornerstone, our overall reason for existence is to bring Glory to God.
We want people’s estimation of God to go up as a result of our presence in
East Durham. In addition to this overarching objective, the leadership
has developed a five-fold directive for accomplishing what we believe God
has placed us here to do.
1.
We need to grow in the faith.
2.
We need to deliberately seek the unsaved for
salvation.
3.
We need to minister to our community.
4.
We need to serve one another.
5.
We need to train workers to carry on the
ministry.
We like to refer to
this list as the Five Pillars of Cornerstone Baptist Church – education,
evangelism, outreach, ministry and discipleship. We try to evaluate
everything Cornerstone does through this grid. We understand a church
with this focus may not have mass appeal, but it does have God’s promise of
blessing, and that is where we want to be.
