"He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."
Mark 16:15
We work with various community ministries in an effort to further God's Kingdom. We believe that we have been called to be ambassadors to the world around us, specifically here in Kankakee County, and are living witnesses to miracles that God has performed in our lives. We go into the world in three stages: Local, National, and Global.
Local
Pregnancy Resourse Center
Living Alternatives is committed to saving the lives of unborn children by promoting life-affirming options and providing practical assistance, while sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed, and to minister restoration to those who have been wounded by the trauma of abortion
Fortitude
The mission of Fortitude is to build relationships with struggling individuals in Kankakee County by meeting them where they are, providing for physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and connecting to community resources
Sleep In Heavenly Peace
Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a non-profit organization dedicated to building and delivering bunk beds to children in need, with the mission to ensure "no kid sleeps on the floor in our town," meaning they aim to provide a bed for every child who doesn't have one, believing a comfortable sleep space is essential for a child's well-being
National
Yearly, members from Cornerstone go to the Red Bird Mission Work Camp in the fall. Participants serve doing maintenance on houses, building, and renovating for the population in the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky.
Global
Globally, Cornerstone serves to impact the world for Christ. While we at Cornerstone financially support multiple different missions across the world, a consistent organization that we support is World Vision Child Sponsorship in Marafa, Kenya. We, as a church also go out into the world and serve through different mission trips. The El Faro, Guatemala mission trip is a mission trip that Cornerstone partakes in that transforms those who attend as they serve
