Pastor Daniel Okafor

A word from our pastor

Come as you are

Cornerstone was planted by ordinary people who wanted an honest, welcoming church for a city that never slows down. Wherever you are on the journey, there is a seat here for you.

  • Every Sunday we gather to worship, open Scripture, and share communion.
  • Small groups meet across the city midweek — over dinner, coffee, or a walk.
  • We serve our neighbourhood through food outreach, tutoring, and refugee support.

Rhythms of our week

Beyond Sundays, Cornerstone is a family that meets, prays, eats, and serves together throughout the week. Here are a few of the doorways in.

01

Sunrise Prayer

Tuesday mornings at 6:30, we open the sanctuary for quiet prayer, coffee, and a short reading before the workday begins.

02

Life Groups

Small groups of 8–12 people meeting in homes around the city — where questions are welcome and friendships grow.

03

Weekend Services

Two Sunday gatherings at 9:00 and 11:00, plus a family-friendly service on Saturday evenings at 17:30.

04

Serve the City

Monthly Saturdays where we paint, garden, pack food, and pray with neighbours through partner organisations.

First visit

What to Expect

Arrive early

Doors open 30 minutes before each service. Grab coffee, say hello, and find a seat without pressure.

All are welcome

No dress code, no perfect past required. Come with questions, doubts, or just curiosity.

Scripture-centred

Each service includes worship, a clear teaching from the Bible, and space to respond in prayer.

Kids are safe here

Trained teams, secure check-in, and age-appropriate programmes so families can worship freely.

Stories from our church family

"We walked in on a rainy Sunday not knowing anyone. By the end of the service someone had invited us to lunch — and we've been part of a Life Group ever since."

Amara & Tobi

Members since 2019

"Cornerstone is the first church where I felt free to ask hard questions and still be welcomed. Serving on Thursdays has reshaped how I see my city."

James Whitfield

Volunteer, food pantry

"Our kids ask on Saturday nights if tomorrow is a church day. That tells me everything about the people who look after them here."

Priya Menon

Parent, kids ministry

"I moved for school and was lonely for months. A friend brought me to Cornerstone and now I have a family I never expected."

Lucia Ortiz

Student, Life In Church

"Hosting a group in our flat seemed small, but watching people grow and belong has been one of the richest parts of our lives."

Henry & Mei Lin

Life Group hosts

"I was nervous about church. The welcome team didn't overwhelm me — they just handed me coffee and asked my name. I came back."
