A Little Bit About Us

Our Story & Mission

Cornerstone Church was founded in September 1982 by Pastor Howard Renker with the mission to share the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. After meeting in various locations, the church settled into its current site and opened its first building in 1996.


In 2002, Pastor Eric Bucci became the lead pastor, joined by his wife Sandra and a congregation of 75. They now have three children: Luke, Hannah, and Matthew. In 2014, the church moved into a 15,000 sq. ft. worship facility, and the original building was transformed into a state-of-the-art children's ministry center in 2016.


Today, Cornerstone serves around 1000 members and continues to grow. Our mission is to help people Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference. We believe that a life surrendered to God, guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and the fellowship of believers, leads to transformation into Christ’s image. We also focus on building strong relationships through small groups and community outreach.


Our Mission

We believe God designed us to live in freedom, and one of the best ways to experience this is by connecting with others. Cornerstone Small Groups provide a practical and enjoyable way to build life-changing community.

  • The Bible

    The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority for determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, the Bible is inspired, infallible and inerrant.


    Scripture References:

    Prov. 30:5; Rom. 16:25-26; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20,21

  • God

    There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal.


    Scripture References:

    Gen. 1:26; Isa. 9:6; Matt. 3:16-17; 28:19; Luke 1:35; Heb. 3:7-11; 1 John 5:7

  • Salvation

    Humanity was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression, it fell. Humanity’s only hope for redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Gen. 1:26-31; 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21) For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (John 6:44,65) We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human effort.


    Scripture References:

    Rom. 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Gal. 2:16; 3:8; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Heb. 9:22

  • The Holy Spirit

    Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried and rose again from the dead. (John 1:12; 14:17,23; 15:4; Rom. 8:11; Rev. 3:20) The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the Church. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of biblical parameters.


    Scripture References:

    Rom. 1:11; 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31; 14:1-40; Eph. 4:16; 1 Tim. 4:14; 2 Tim. 1:5-16; Heb. 2:4; 1 Pet. 4:10

  • Ordinances & Sacraments

    Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new believer is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:38) Communion is a unique time in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (representing the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.


    Scripture References:

    Matt. 26:26-29; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12,36-38; 10:47,48; 1 Cor. 10:16; 11:23-26

  • The Return Of Christ

    Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures


    Scripture References:

    Matt. 24:30, 26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; I Thess. 4:15-17; II Thess. 1:7-8; Rev. 1:7
