Great Expectations

Be vulnerable. It is because of Jesus we have everything to gain and nothing to lose. For we know we find His strength in our weakness. We know He uses pain to make us more like Him. For these reasons I ask that we’d give up control and choose this more narrow path.

A Story of a Broken Girl

For me, I am not perfectly healed. I am not perfect. I am constantly failing. But I'm growing. I am learning what it means to trust your church. I am becoming open again. God is providing me with joy, a new community, a renewed hope in the world. All through my community at Cornerstone. And I hope you will open your heart to this same community that is waiting for you!
