The following are some doctrinal statements that directly influence the way we live our lives and the way we operate our ministries at Cornerstone. We believe these to be the basic truths about God and our relationship with Him. We're open to change and compromise on a variety of issues... these aren't them.

. . . that the Bible is the inspired and infallible written Word of God, completely without error in its original manuscripts and transmitted to the present without the corruption of any essential doctrine.
. . . in the Bible and seek to establish our faith and actions on its teachings.
