Global Missions
Cornerstone Community Church maintains spiritual and financial relationships with a number of different missionaries and missionary organizations for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism, disciple making, church planting, church development, and the meeting of human needs.
Our Goal
Our goal is to recruit, train, send out and support both short-term and full-time missionaries. Although we strive to support ministry opportunities covering a broad range of geographical areas, we specifically desire for our congregation to become closely involved with the individual missionaries and agencies that we financially support. We want to put feet to our faith and come alongside these servants to reach the lost together for Christ.
Supported Ministries
The following are a list of global and local ministries that we currently support with our prayers and finances.

Short-term Opportunities
We regularly sponsor short-term missions opportunities for individuals as well as assist those members of Cornerstone who seek opportunities to involve themselves in God's work of missions.
In recent years, we have sent or partnered with short term teams or individuals to Brussels Belgium, Lima Peru, Timisoara Romania, Manila Philippines, Guatemala, and on a traveling ministry through out Western Europe.
For the year 2006, we are excited about short-term teams going to minister at JAARS (part of Wycliffe Bible Translators) in Waxhaw North Carolina, at Child Evangelism Fellowship in Warrenton MO, and teams that will help with Hurricane Katrina cleanup in Covington, Louisiana.
