What We Believe

We believe in one God, the creator of all things, eternal, infinite, perfect, and manifested in three persons as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (John 1:1-3; Isaiah 44:6-8; Matt. 28:19; Mark 12:29; Duet. 6:4; Isaiah 43:10).

We believe the Holy Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, the inerrant and entire revelation of God's will for salvation, and the Divine and final authority for the Christian faith and life (2 Timothy 3:15-17).

We believe Jesus Christ was God manifested in the flesh, true God and true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin Mary (Isaiah 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Isaiah 9:6) We believe in His sinless life, His miraculous ministry, His substitutionary death on the cross as atonement for our sins, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and his ascension into heaven to serve as our intercessor before the Father (John 1:14; Hebrews 7:25,26)

We believe in salvation only through the blood of Jesus. Man was created good but by voluntary transgression fell, and his ONLY hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:23; Rom. 10:13-15; Eph. 2:8; John 3:3-8; 1 John 1:7-9). This causes us to enter the family of God by an experience called the "New Birth" as Jesus taught Nicodemus in John chapter 3.

  We believe water baptism is by immersion, and must be observed by all who truly repent & believe on Christ as he  commanded. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47,48; Acts 2:38; 1 Pet. 3:21 Rom. 6:4,5)

  We believe in the baptism in the Holy Ghost. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is a gift from God, promised by Christ to all believers, distinct from and subsequent to the New Birth, (Acts 2:38,39; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 15:8,9) and that speaking with tongues is the initial physical evidence (Acts 2:4; Acts10:44-46; Acts 19:6).

  We believe in ENTIRE Sanctification and a life of holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. By the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit we are able to obey the command, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." Entire sanctification and a life set apart from the world is God's will for all believers. Sanctification is something that should be earnestly pursued by living in obedience to God's word. (Rom. 8:3-4; 1 Thes. 5:23; Heb. 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:14-16; 1 John 2:6; 3:3)

We believe in divine healing and prayer for the sick. Deliverance from sickness was provided in the atonement. (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matt. 8:16,17; Mark 16:18; John 5:14; James 5:14,15)

We believe in the blessed hope and return of Christ. The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep together with those who are alive and remain, is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church. (1 Thes. 4:16; Rom. 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor. 15:51,52)

PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY            THE HEALTHY CHURCH

 

Purpose
Our purpose is to know, worship and obey God according to the Scriptures.

Mission
Our mission is to promote healthy relationships through small groups which empower people for ministry. 
 

 


A Life-Giving Local Church
We believe that God has chosen the local church to represent His life and His love to the community. Through strong, growing, healthy local churches, people should have the opportunity to hear the Gospel, come to know Jesus Christ, become a part of the body of believers, and be discipled. At Cornerstone, our first priority is to be a thriving local church for the people of South Florida.

Sound Doctrine
Cornerstone is a Bible-believing church. We believe God has revealed Himself through the Scriptures, and the Scriptures are to be taught using sound, orthodox doctrine. We emphasize every portion of Scripture, including God's work through the people of , the birth, life, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the mission of the body of believers, and the ministering work of the Holy Spirit in the world today.

Praise, Prayer and Worship
Weekend services at Cornerstone are truly worship services. As a body of believers, we love to praise and worship God in freedom, power, and humility. Praise and worship services at Cornerstone are lively but reverent, exciting but holy. We believe that when we worship God, we are connecting with the Lord of all creation, so it is worth it to give every part of ourselves to Him, holding nothing back.

We are also convinced of the reality of powerful prayer. We believe that a praying church has a much better chance of making a difference than a prayer-less one, and our members have had ample opportunities to be a part of prayer teams, prayer vigils and to experience impacting prayer and fasting.

Our Community
We  believe it is the  church's responsibility to be a blessing to everyone in their community regardless of race, education or social status.  We are to bless the poor, the widows and the orphans and in this process to glorify Jesus Christ.  We are called to honor righteousness and stand up against unrighteousness.

Our World
We are called to preach and teach about Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.  To be an example to other churches and ministries as to what God can do when we truly allow Him to build His church.  God first...man second!  His kingdom come...not ours!
