Welcome to Christ Church!
Join us if you want to make new friends, share in a faith-journey (Jesus said, “come and follow me), grow as a student of God’s word, worship God, and meet him at his table, the Lord’s Supper.
Christ Church at Cornerstone is a church in the tradition of the English Reformation. We can claim a variety of adjectives: biblical, evangelical, Reformed, Anglican, but ultimately, we are aspiring to be “mere” Christians.
In today’s “marketplace” of churches, sales points are those things that make a particular church new and different. But, we don’t really want to be new and different. We want to share in those things that connect Christian people around the world and through the centuries.
A famous Anglican, C.S. Lewis wrote Mere Christianity seeking to present the heart of what Christians believe. At their best, Anglicans seek to apply the principle: “in essential unity, in non-essentials (or doubtful things) liberty, and in all things charity.” Of course, as in the case of many such axioms it is easier said than done.
You’ll find here expository preaching. Expository preaching is preaching that carefully explains Bible passages and demonstrates careful study of the Bible. Expository preaching assumes that although not every Christian is called to be a teacher of the Word, every Christian is called to be a student of God’s Word.
You’ll find here the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Although often neglected today, Jesus gave these to his people for them all to share in.
You’ll find here traditional worship. Each week we have an opportunity to make the service of God through worship literally our first priority. First thing in the week we can be counted among God’s people in his house worshiping him – or not. It’s a matter of priorities. We worship according to the Book of Common Prayer.
“Common” does not mean ordinary; it means “in common,” we all participate. The traditional form of worship means that not only does our worship connect us to those with us in church on a given Sunday, but also with Christian of all times and
places.
