Regional Ministry

Love your neighbor as yourself.

From the beginning, Cornerstone has desired to be a blessing to those in our community and around the world. Recently, we began moving more aggressively to develop and fund ministries for those with physical and spiritual needs.

The huge need to financially support ministries and facilities on our local campus has not decreased our commitment to impact our community and the world. Currently, 15% of general contributions given to Cornerstone go toward regional and global ministries. In future years, we intend to boldly increase the percentage of funds that we distribute beyond our walls. See how we spend our regional and global money.

Church Planting
We believe that the church is God's means to make an impact on a community, and that the most powerful impact on a person's life is through a relationship with Jesus Christ in the context of a local church community. Because of this we are actively working toward planting new churches in other communities. READ MORE ABOUT CHURCH PLANTING.

Volunteer Support
Part of "contribute" is to volunteer our time, serving in Ames and the surrounding communities. Many folks from Cornerstone have volunteered their time helping several organizations across central Iowa, including Habitat for Humanity, Beloit of Iowa, Birthright, Youth and Shelter Services and the American Red Cross.
