Cornerstone Church

We all have noble, lofty goals to start the New Year. We want to become the best version of ourselves—physically, emotionally, mentally, relationally, spiritually. But the sad, sobering fact of the matter? We are under-equipped for the task at hand. We don’t have the needed capabilities to change things on our own…luckily for us? We’re not on our own this New Year! We’re kicking off the New Year w...

“I’m going to start working out! I’m going to start reading more books! I’m going to start a new hobby!” Often, our emphasis at the start of the year is just that—a start. But what if one of the major keys to hacking our New Year isn’t what we start but what we end? What if we decided to once and for all leave unhealthy habits, mindsets, and relationships behind? We’re kicking off the New Year wit...

We’re kicking off the New Year with a twist! This January, our facility is undergoing the start of some significant renovations—so much so that we’ll be holding all our Sunday services online. While it’s difficult that we can’t gather together onsite, we’ve decided to embrace this digital season with enthusiasm. In the spirit of “online-only”, we’re diving into a series called “Hacking My New Year...

Christmas is such an incredible time of year...so why stop at simply seizing the 25 Days of Christmas? We want to keep this thing going 24/7/365! What we’ve learned about taking advantage of the holiday season is relegated simply to the holiday season. We can become people who take the joy, hope, and optimism of Christmas along with us into the New Year! It’s that time of year again—it’s the holid...

It’s that time of year again—it’s the holiday season! And if you’re even remotely like most people, you’re hoping and believing that this Christmas will be the best Christmas yet. So let me start with the good news—that can be the case for you! This really can be a Christmas for the record books! But here’s the not-so-fun news…it’s not just going to happen . You’re not going to simply fall into th...

Cornerstone Church is different in all the best ways. Our Ministry Partners, our culture and DNA, our methodology for how we live out the Kingdom of God…it’s just different . And honestly? We think Northeast Ohio could use a whole lot more “different.” That’s why we have a vision to see the influence of our church grow exponentially . We want more and more people to experience how Jesus changes ev...

​​Our culture is filled with political tension and division, and it’s so easy to get caught up in the noise. But as followers of Christ, we have to rise above it. We must remind ourselves that Jesus is our true King, and He has ushered in a new kingdom—the Kingdom of God. That truth? It should shape the way we view leadership, voting, and our unity during this season. Followers of Jesus—we need to...

Gather in close and draw near to the flame, For the shadows whisper a secret name! In the darkness deep the truth takes flight From the Holy Book, to go haunt the night! We'll speak of tales where fear resides, In silent rooms where evil hides! Of temptations and tombs and ghouls and ghosts; of a valley filled with a decaying host! These stories are old and from ancient days; They hold warnings de...

The Apostle Peter—one of Jesus’ closest friends and first disciples—knows his time is short. He is living in Rome, and Peter knows that the authorities have it out for him. With his days numbered, Peter decides to send out one, final letter to the churches he’s been leading. And, in the words of the Emergency Broadcasting System? “This letter is not a test.” Peter is writing about matters of spiri...

Our faith contains countless paradoxes—things that seem at odds with one another. You want to save your life? Lose it. You want to be the greatest? Become the least. You want knowledge? Approach God like a child. This “paradoxical” nature is a unique aspect of the Christian faith. And there’s one paradox in Scripture that is very unique because it is true from two seemingly-contradictory perspecti...

It’s August 1980 in South Akron. A small-but-growing group of Jesus-followers call themselves “Cornerstone Church.” They rally behind the mission of helping people find the Father, a family, and a fulfilling future. And that’s exactly what they do...day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. But as Cornerstone advanced the Kingdom of God, a perfect storm of opposition soug...

There is no organization on Earth quite like the Church. We’re all a part of the same body of believers, and yet individual local churches can be so wildly different. How is it supposed to be? What are we supposed to do? What did Jesus really have in mind for the Church when He started it 2,000 years ago? Believe it or not—what we believe about the Church matters. The Bible. A collection of 66 boo...

Our beliefs shape our world. What we think about different things—relationships, work, money, health, friendships—eventually manifests in how we act. This fact is never more evident than when it comes to our faith. What you believe about God? It matters. What you believe about the Bible? It matters. What you believe about the Church? It matters. All of those beliefs will eventually mold and shape...
