Throughout the New Testament, God
instructs the church concerning it's purpose on earth. Repeatedly,
we see five things that the church of Jesus Christ is to do:
Worship, Make Disciples, Fellowship, Serve
and Evangelize. Cornerstone is committed to fulfilling
Christ's purpose for His church by being a balanced, purpose-driven
church.
Our Purpose Statement
The Purpose of Cornerstone Community Baptist Church is to bring
people to Jesus and Membership in his family, develop them to Christlike
Maturity, and equip them for their
Ministry in the church
and life Mission in the world, in order to
Magnify God's name.
The five purposes of the church can
be seen in the two great statements of Scripture, the
Great Commandment (Mt.
22:37-39) and the Great Commission
(Mt.
28:18-20).
To
love God is to express worship.
To
love your neighbor is to serve.
To
go and make disciples is to evangelize.
To
baptize is to symbolize our fellowship in Christ's Body.
To
teach to obey is discipleship.
A Great Commitment to the
Great
Commandment
and the Great Commission
will Grow a Great Church!
