Christ the Cornerstone
A United Methodist Congregation
ABOUT US
We are a United Methodist Church that loves the Lord and want to serve him daily. We believe that the bible is the infallible Word of God. We adhere to the Nicene and Apostles Creeds
OUR VISION
Our prayer is that Cornerstone will be a place where ...
... people learn to live life with joy and purpose, by experiencing God's love, forgiveness and acceptance through a living and authentic friendship with his Son, Jesus.
... worship of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is done in spirit and in truth, not just as a weekly church event, but as a lifestyle... at home, work, in all our relationships and decisions of life.
... tens of thousands of people in New Castle County, Cecil County and beyond are introduced to Jesus and invited to follow him.
... there are hundreds of small groups, where children, youth, and adults are connected and growing in biblically centered community.
... every follower of Jesus has identified their spiritual gifts and are using them in service to others.
... scores of people are called into fulltime vocational ministry, and where hundreds serve as short-term missionaries throughout the world.
... the needs of the poor, the oppressed and those in crisis, in the community and beyond, are addressed with hope and dignity.
... three thousand people commit themselves to Cornerstone's membership vows.
... church facilities are able to serve one thousand people at a time, facilities that are inspiring, functional, adequate and well maintained, but never idolized.
... grace and truth prevail, to the glory of God.

FIND YOUR FAITH
As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time.
Faith is the basic orientation and commitment of our whole being—a matter of heart and soul. Christian faith is grounding our lives in the living God as revealed especially in Jesus Christ. It’s both a gift we receive within the Christian community and a choice we make. It’s trusting in God and relying on God as the source and destiny of our lives. Faith is believing in God, giving God our devoted loyalty and allegiance. Faith is following Jesus, answering the call to be his disciples in the world. Faith is hoping for God’s future, leaning into the coming kingdom that God has promised. Faith-as-belief is active; it involves trusting, believing, following, hoping.
