Cornerstone Bible Church
About the Scriptures
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is truth and applicable for believers today.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
About God
We believe in One God, The Father who is The Creator, eternally existent and sustainer of everything. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
About Jesus
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the mediator between God and man. He was born of a virgin and conceived and anointed by the Holy Spirit. He lived a life of perfect obedience and although sinless, fully shared our humanity.
His death revealed the Father’s love and grace and reconciles us to the Father. He was resurrected from the grave and ascended to Heaven. At God’s right hand, he intercedes for His people. Jesus will return to the earth, raise the dead, judge all people, and establish God’s Kingdom on the Earth.
About Baptism
We believe that baptism by immersion expresses faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and shows obedience to His command
About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and by making him known to the lost world.
About Humanity
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him. Unfortunately, we became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
About Salvation
We believe that the blood Jesus Christ shed on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.
About the Christian Life
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.
About the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the power of God working in the Church and in the life of the believer, per Acts 2:33. The Holy Spirit is active in the church today.
