Jesus commanded his followers to MAKE DISCIPLES of all the nations. We believe this command is for the church today as well. Cornerstone’s mission is to MAKE DISCIPLES locally in Montgomery County but also globally by partnering with missionaries, foreign and domestic. All this is for the purpose of advancing the kingdom of God all around the world. We desire for the name of Jesus to be proclaimed among all people, for their good and the glory of God.
Serious about gospel advancement
