About Cornerstone
Planted in 2014
A church for a city that never slows down
Cornerstone began in a rented school hall with thirty friends who wanted an honest, welcoming church for a city of newcomers. A decade on, we gather on Saturday evenings and twice on Sundays — with more than forty nationalities in the room.
We are ordinary people learning together what it means to love Jesus, love one another, and love the neighbourhood we share.
What we hold to
What We Believe
01
Scripture
We hold the Bible as the inspired, living word of God — our compass for faith, community and everyday life.
02
Jesus
We follow Jesus of Nazareth — crucified, risen, and returning — as Lord, teacher and friend.
03
The Spirit
We depend on the Holy Spirit to comfort, convict and empower us for lives of love and service.
04
The Church
We believe the church is a family across nations and generations, sent to bless the city we call home.
How we try to live
Our Values
- Every Nation, One Table
- Honest About Doubt
- Generous With Time
- Faithful in the Small Things
- Rooted in Prayer
- For the City
