Membership 101
For 25 years, we have seen God do more than we could ever ask or imagine. As a church family, we want membership to be a way for us to covenant together and affirm a shared confession, a shared vision, and a shared commitment to one another as members of Cornerstone Church.
If you are interested in joining Cornerstone as a member, this 2-week class is for you!

Practical Theology for Mental Health
This weekend will explore Christian theology and how it relates to mental health. Participants will attend both main sessions and focused track sessions in one of the three arenas mental health can most impact a person: in technology, in community, and in vocation.
Technology
This track will focus on developing a theological framework of technology for the Christian, and consider ways that technology is neutral, helpful, and harmful for mental health along with practical tools to aid with usage and addiction.
Community
This track will focus on developing a theological framework of community for the Christian, and consider ways that the presence of community enhances mental health while also exploring what can occur when community is broken, toxic, or absent and steps are needed for intervention.
Vocation
This track will focus on developing a theological framework of calling for the Christian, and how clarity on God’s unique design for our lives impacts personal mental health. With some practical tools, each person can begin to discover personal calling and “the sweet spot.”

First Aid Training for Mental Health
As part of Equip Weekend, we are partnering with the City of Ames and the Ames Police Department to offer a specialized track for in-depth training on identifying and responding to mental health emergencies.
If you regularly encounter those experiencing mental health emergencies (school teachers, social workers, first responders, etc.), this training will teach you risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns along with strategies for helping someone in crisis situations.
