Plan A Visit

Welcome to Cornerstone!

We're so glad you're taking the time to plan a visit with us. Our prayer is that you will begin to experience God from the moment you enter the parking lot and continue to do so as you leave to live with purpose. Wondering what to expect when you get here? Below you will find a short walkthrough of a typical Sunday experience. If you have questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to us by email or the website contact form.

Arrival & Kids Check-In

Upon arriving at Cornerstone Tabernacle on a Sunday morning, you will be greeted by our friendly hosts at the front door in the foyer. If you have nursery-aged children (0-4 years old) or kids (K-5th grade) let the hosts know so they can help you with the check-in process for their respective ministry. The check-in and check-out for all kids is located in the left wing.

Not ready for the kids to go to Nursery or Cornerstone Kids on your first visit? No problem! Kids are always welcome in the main Sunday worship service.

Coffee & Corporate Worship

Once the kids are connected or if you are early, grab a cup of coffee or tea and a pastry and hang out until service starts at 11:00AM. Service begins with a scriptural call to worship and then the team engages the congregation in a set of modern, uplifting, and Jesus-centered worship.

Worship continues through giving of tithes and offerings and someone will let you know other ways to get connected at Cornerstone during a brief time of announcements.

Message & Prayer

Message & Prayer

Hearts having been focused on Christ, Pastor Steve Stewart or one of the other gifted communicators from Cornerstone will bring a challenging and life changing message from Scripture followed by a time of response at the altar where our pastors and leaders would love to serve you through prayer. We aim for total service length to be about an hour and a half.

Once the worship service has been completed, the pastors and staff would love to meet you. Other questions? Feel free to email us so we can connect with you before your first visit! We look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey!

Another great way to get a feel for what to expect is by watching one of our services live or at your convenience by clicking below!

FAQ

At Cornerstone Tabernacle, you will find the gamut of dress: from hipster to casual and even a few people in suits. Come as you are comfortable dressing for a Sunday Service and know that no matter what you wear you will be treated with the same sense of hospitality.

We believe that worship involves the whole person: mind, body, and soul. The joy we have kindled in our heart by God is allowed to overflow with expressions of raised hands, corporate prayers, jumping, and dancing, all in celebration of the One who has redeemed us through his victorious life, death, and resurrection.

Yes! We are affiliated with the Assemblies of God, a Pentecostal denomination that was founded in Hot Springs, AR in 1914, and that is now the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination. Every Assemblies of God church calls their own pastor and operates by their own bylaws while submitting to the denomination in matters of doctrine and ministerial credentialing and ordination.  This means that Assemblies of God churches may vary widely in ethos, style, and emphasis, yet are still tied together as a “cooperative fellowship” by their common doctrine and affiliation with the state and national levels. For more information on the Assemblies of God, please click here.

Great question! Immediately following our Sunday morning worship service, there is an opportunity to meet our pastor and staff in the foyer. If you exit the main sanctuary and look to your right (next to the doors leading outside) you see the “Guest Reception” sign. Here you will have as much or as little time as you would like to connect with the staff and other members. The staff will be able to direct you to other people in the church who are in a similar life stage, the best way to meet people is to attend one of our other ministries that takes place during the week. There are GROUPS that meet at various times (check here for more information), men’s and women’s groups that have periodic meetings, a food ministry on Saturday morning, and a mid-week service focused on the next generations. It also helps to come early on Sunday, grab a cup of coffee and hang out in the lobby with everyone before our service starts.

There are many opportunities for your children and teenagers to get involved at Cornerstone Tabernacle.  On Sunday morning, children and babies are served with age appropriate worship opportunities, while teenagers and older children attend our corporate worship service. On Wednesday nights, boys and girls from 2nd grade to 5th grade attend kid-friendly versions of our GROUPS. Teenagers from 6th grade to 12th grade have their own GROUP in the Annex and you can find more info about that here.

Great question! Children from birth to 5th grade participate in our Cornerstone Kids program and check-in is located in the main building. Upon entering the building, our greeters can direct to the check-in desk which is directly to the left of the main auditorium.

All children receive a label and parents receive a corresponding label that is used for check out to ensure the safety of the children. Check out is at the same desk located in the lobby.

You can find a brief explanation of our beliefs here and a more extended version, called the 16 Fundamental Truths on the Assemblies of God website can be found here.

There is a mixture of people at Cornerstone Tabernacle in terms of age, race, gender, and socio-economic status. We love that so many different types of people come together to form the church and worship the Living and Powerful One as the Body and Bride of Christ.
