Pastor's Corner


Dear Church Family and Friends,

An update went out to the congregation this week with information about our plans for the future with Abounding. I encourage our congregation to read this update and contact the leadership if you have any questions.

It has only been six months since Cornerstone moved into our new church home and things have progressed faster than anticipated. By the end of the Spring, we will have welcomed over 50 new members into our congregation since we have relocated to our McClung location ... and many more visitors. This welcomed blessing has begun to test the limits of our current space.  

Because of the Lord’s favor and the growth we are experiencing, the Session has constituted a feasibility study to address the following questions:

  • If McClung is to be our permanent home, what is the feasibility of building on this property and adding more parking? What are the restrictions?
  • If we stay here at McClung, what might we do to make more improvements?
  • If we continue to proceed with moving to Meridian Street one day and build a new facility there, what is the update on construction cost? 
  • What recommendations might there be for the restricted funds from the Abounding initiative? 
There is much for us to consider and much for us to be in prayer. Please continue to pray. Pray for wisdom for the feasibility study committee and for the Session to make wise decisions.

See you Sunday! 

by His Grace and to His Praise,

Pastor Wilson
