Success is measured in terms of the spiritual growth and maturity of the people, rather than the size of the offering. In a Bible Church, you will often see that people are more important than the church programs and the nurturing of lives is more important than the numbers in attendance. The ministry from the pulpit consists primarily of the exposition of Scripture, with life-centered application for families and individuals of all ages. Bible Churches exist to help people grow spiritually, have a strong understanding of the Bible, and to encourage them towards fruitful Christian service.

We are pleased that you are considering membership at Cornerstone Fellowship Bible Church! If you would like more information on membership, we would like to invite you to our next membership class. Our desire is that everyone at Cornerstone would become a vital and committed member of the church. Likewise, God’s call on members of the local church to follow and obey their leaders assumes that they have joined themselves to a local body of believers (Hebrews 13:17). God’s call on church leaders to care for His people necessitates that pastors/elders know who they are being called to shepherd, instruct, disciple, and guard (1 Peter 5:1-3 Acts 20:28 Matthew 18:15-17 1 Corinthians 5). Indeed, the language used to describe the church (body, flock, temple, household) evokes the idea of those who are a committed and vital part of that community. The church of the New Testament would not have understood the concept of a Christian who was not associated with and committed to a local body of believers. ![]() Though the Bible does not mention the word “member” or “membership”, it does teach the idea of membership. Membership is the way for you as well as us to facilitate that community and commitment among one another. God intended for believers to become part of his body which is the church and to experience the richness of community that is found in committed relationships within local churches. Through membership, Cornerstone is blessed with your presence, gifts, and influence as you invest in the lives of those around you. Through membership, you are blessed as you place yourself under the care, instruction, and accountability of the elders and members of Cornerstone. Becoming a member of Cornerstone simply means you are committing yourself to us and we are committing ourselves to you.
