Students


This is the plan for student ministries this week and some upcoming events.


Important - Please Respond!
I am seeking your feedback on the upcoming change for the middle school youth group night. We originally planned for the middle school youth group night to be on Tuesday night from 6:00-8:00 pm starting September 3, but now we are thinking about switching the middle school youth group night to Thursday night from 6:00-8:00 pm.

I would appreciate it if you would send me your feedback regarding if Tuesday night or Thursday night works better for you. Email: daniel.schoof@cornerstonefree.com

Ministry Enhancement Plan
Ministry Enhancement Plan 

How Does The Ministry Enhancement Fit Into Our 3-Year Vision?
Cornerstone, in the next three years, will create a culture that inspires Christ-like believers whose lives reveal God’s goodness and equips mature leaders who multiply to impact our community and beyond. We will strive to develop strong leadership while further equipping our saints for the works of service. Our ministry enhancements are tools that will assist us in our journey to disciple our own and reach the lost. We want to utilize our facility in the most efficient manner. Repurposing rooms helps people make better connections. Additionally, an expanded foyer encourages people to make personal connections within the congregation. First-time visitors and newcomers will have a welcoming atmosphere to meet others.
For complete information and to participate in the Ministry Enhancement Plan with your much-appreciated donation, please visit the Cornerstone Website and click on Give/Building Fund. Please note that giving envelopes labeled "Ministry Enhancement - Building Fund" are available and may be found inside the friendship folder in the Worship Center pews or at the Welcome Center.
