Where we come from

On June 2, 1993, twelve anxious adults met in a private home to discuss the feasibility of starting a new Christian church in their community of Dawson County. Eddie Bowen, a music minister from the First  Christian Church of Cumming, GA, and a member of the group, was selected to become the church’s first preaching minister. 

 

 On June 23, 1993, following a formal vote, the members decided that the name of this new congregation would be Cornerstone Christian Church. A team found a meeting space in the Ingles Shopping Center complex, and the first service took place on July 18, 1993.   

 

 In 1994, the congregation began searching for another location large enough to accommodate the growing needs of the increased membership. Another church that had recently moved into its building had left a small church at the corner of Perimeter Road and Rt. 9N abandoned. The building required a lot of work, but with everyone pitching in, it was ready for the first service on September 11, 1994.

 

 With a lack of classrooms and the rental building needing much repair, the congregation approved a building site and a building program in 2000. After much prayer and a year of hard work, we moved into our present building for its dedication service in October 2001.

 

 Our outstanding staff of Mike Frazier, Senior Minister, & Joe Gaines, Associate Minister, are the result of much prayer by this congregation and God’s divine direction. The Ministers, Elders, Deacons, Lay Leadership, music team, and others make Cornerstone Christian Church a wonderful place to worship, learn, and serve God and the community in an atmosphere of faith and friendship.

Where we are headed

What's the bottom line? More than ever, Cornerstone is committed to Loving God, Knowing God, Connecting Believers, and serving. The best way to do that is to minister to the families in our community, reach out to our neighbors, community, and region, and then reach around the world with the message of Christ. We have much work ahead of us. The challenge is great, but God is good, and we look forward to you being a part of this great vision.

What this means for you

What does this mean for you? Most importantly, you're always welcome at Cornerstone. We’re saving a seat for you. Wherever you are in your faith journey, you will always be accepted as part of the Cornerstone family.epted as part of the Cornerstone family.

What We Believe

  • We believe in one God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 5:16,45; 6:1,4,8,9; James 1:17/John 1:1; 14:9 / Genesis 1:2; John 4:24; 14:16-20; 2 Peter 1:21)

  • We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible (Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; Hebrews 11:3)

  • We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s one and only Son, my one and only Savior (John 1:14; 1 John 4:9 / John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:18)

    • Who was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary (Matthew 21:11; John 19:19 / John 1:14; Romans 5;15-17; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 1:1 / Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26-38)

    • Who suffered and was crucified under Pontius Pilate (Luke 23:1-46)

    • Who died and was buried, and Who rose again bodily from the dead on the third day (Luke 23:44 – 24:8; John 20:24-29; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8)

    • Who ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father (Luke 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1)

    • Who will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead (Matthew 24:36-42; John 14:1-3, Acts 1:10-11; 10:39-42; 1 Peter 4:5)

  • We believe in the Holy Spirit

    • Who is an active and operative part of the triune God (John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27)

    • Who indwells every Christian (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14)

  • We believe in the Bible—God’s Holy Word, Scripture. We believe God inspired the autographs (original writings) of the Scripture and those autographs were consequently without error (Mark 12:36; John 14:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

    • We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice (Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12)

  • We believe the Bible teaches that man, created by God, willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23)

  • We believe the Bible teaches that salvation—the forgiveness of sins—is only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7)

    • We believe the Bible teaches that one receives God’s grace by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin, confessing Christ and being immersed into Christ (Romans 5:1-2 / Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19; 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9 / Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:15 / Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21)

  • We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost and consisting of all Christians everywhere (Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47)

  • We believe the Bible teaches that the Elders are to exercise authority over the local congregation (Acts 20:28; Philippians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-4)
