MISSION PAGE
Cornerstone is deeply committed to serving the community and
world. It is our hope that we encourage and motivate others to find the same joy we have
experienced in giving ourselves for others. “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of
the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me”
(Matthew 25:40 NRSV).
Habitat for Humanity: The first Saturday of every month members of
Cornerstone gather at the church office to head out to a Habitat work site. The day begins
at 7:30 a.m. and work
finishes around 12:00 p.m. It is a day of good hard work and Christian
fellowship. The work of Habitat gives families with low income the opportunity to own their first
home. At the work site many of the families come to work with those who have come out for the
morning.
1st Saturday – 7:30 a.m. at the church
office.
Immokalee Cookout: The third Saturday of every month members of
Cornerstone gather at the community park in Immokalee to prepare and feed over 500 individuals and families. For many of those who come to the park this might be their only meal of the day. Roger Roberts coordinates this ministry outreach and is always willing to have others come join
along.
3rd Saturday – 8:00 a.m. at Immokalee Community Park.
Arroyo Blanco / SisterChurch
in Cuba: Cornerstone is actively involved in a relationship with
the Cuban Methodist Church . Arroyo Blanco Methodist Church is our sister congregation. Together we pray for one
another, share stories, and visit one another when ever it is possible. Over the past six years
Cornerstone has sent over 5 teams to visit in Cuba and we have even had the joy of bringing our sister church pastor and his wife to spend a
month with us.
Pray for the Cuban Mission!
Pray for Arroyo Blanco!
Grace Place Ministry: Grace Place is an active ministry to
children and families in Naples own Golden Gate City . Under the direction of Stephanie Campbell Grace
Place has flourished into a ministry which celebrates after school programs,
English as a second language courses, family development programs, after school tutoring, summer camps, and a whole host of other
services. Grace Place
is for the whole community and Cornerstone is a part. Grace Place is always in need of volunteers, prayers, and support.
Grace Place is part of our extended family in mission.
School in Haiti: Cornerstone supports a year round school in
Cay, Haiti. The school in Haiti serves local children and families by providing them with food, clothing, and
education. Cornerstone continues to support this mission and prays for the children who are
receiving support.
Serving never ends! These are
just a few of the opportunities we offer at Cornerstone to reach out and connect with our community and world. While these opportunities are a primary focus for Cornerstone this portrait does not even come close to
painting the picture of all that the members of Cornerstone do in their daily lives. Come on out
and share!
