/ ABOUT
​
The Cornerstone Network exists to promote church-based theological and pastoral training for the purpose of strengthening, revitalizing, and planting biblical churches.
​
As a ministry of the Cornerstone Network, our fall conference has three main goals: Encouragement, Instruction, and Connection.
​
We seek to gather like-minded brothers and sisters, many of whom are in the trenches of local church ministry, for the sake of mutual encouragement. The joy of coming together to form new relationships or nurture old ones is a joy that aids us all in the ongoing task of ministry, reminding us that we are co-laborers in a shared vision who serve a great Savior.
We seek to provide helpful instruction that will aid our attendees in the task of ministry. The wisdom of seasoned pastors, church planters, and others is a treasure we want to share.
We seek to forge connections that will strengthen ministry partnerships. Cornerstone Community Church has been training and sending out leaders through our pastoral apprenticeship program for over a decade now, and it is our desire to expand the connections of ministry partnership to a wider circle of like-minded churches and individuals. We hope these connections will strengthen our ministry partners through the supports of prayer, finances, and personal presence, all for the sake of making disciples of Jesus Christ.
