Cornerstone's Ministries
Worship
Expressing Love to God
The purpose of the Worship Ministries is to ultimately and entirely bring glory to God; their primary means of fulfilling this goal is by collectively leading and aiding members of the Body of Christ in corporate worship.
Cornerstone's Worship Opportunities
A group of individuals that lead the congregation in worshipping through worship songs and hymns.
The media group allows our church to not just show pictures, videos, and graphics, but it also allows the whole church to engage and spread the church’s mission of Know Him, Show Him.
The Sound group ensures the best worship music mix possible, creating an audio mix that meets the mood of the Pastor/Praise Team wants to convey, and supporting the audio need of the people involved with our church.
Discipleship
Helping People Grow Spiritually
Discipleship in the church is to educate and help believers to grow in Faith, Maturity and Wisdom. To help build their Faith on a strong foundation so they can then disciple and lead others to Christ, this is done by knowing Christ, growing in Christ, serving Christ, and sharing Christ with others.
Cornerstone's Discipleship Programs
Every Sunday before our Sunday Worship Service, adults will gather together for a morning time of bible fellowship and study. There is also a time for prayer during this time.

Fellowship
A Place to Belong
Fellowship in the church is to spend time with one another where we can enjoy the community of believers, either in the church or away from the church. By spending time in fellowship we can lift up and encourage one another and show the love of God.
The fellowship ministry provides times for the church to get together to have fun and enjoy one another’s company. Examples of what we do as a church : Snacks and coffee/juice after morning worship service, bonfires, Christmas party/hayride, Sports outings, dinners out, church picnic.
Cornerstone's Fellowship Opportunities
Heavenly Grounds is a time of fellowship with snacks and beverages after the morning worship service. The snacks and beverages are provided by volunteered members of the church.
The church family gets together as a group to attend the Grand Rapids Griffins hockey games and the West Michigan Whitecaps baseball games. Before each game the church group attends, most of the group will join together for a meal and a time of Fellowship.

Some of the opportunities we have are meeting needs by contributing and volunteering with Hand-2-Hand and the Community Center. We provide Thanksgiving dinners for area families. We reach out to children by having a summer Vacation Bible school program, purchasing Christmas gifts for area children along with participating with the Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child.
