A Path to Deeper Faith
Following Jesus is a lifelong process — learning who He is, learning from what He taught, and slowly becoming more like Him in how we live and treat others. This is discipleship.
At Cornerstone, we want to meet you wherever you are. Whether you're new to church altogether, new to Cornerstone, or you've been coming for years and want to go deeper, we want to help you take the next step. We do this in a variety of ways.
It starts with joining us on a Sunday morning, where you can experience worship and hear biblical teaching that's relevant to real life. From there, if you're curious about the basics of faith or want practical tools for everyday life, we offer classes throughout the year designed exactly for that.
Whether you're brand new to faith or coming from another church, we want to help you meet new people, learn about Cornerstone, and get connected. Join us Sunday, October 4th from 5:00 to 6:00pm in the Corner House for a relaxed meet-and-greet with our church leadership. Bring the whole family—childcare is provided.
Want to grow your family with more intention and delight? Join us for Take Back Your Family, a class working through Jefferson Bethke's book by the same name. You'll discover practical, ancient ways to build a family team, do life multigenerationally, create a family mission, and develop habits that lead to real flourishing. We'll meet 5:00pm–6:30pm in the Corner House on:
September 27th
October 11th
October 25th
November 8th
Please sign up to let us know you can come. Questions? Reach out to Pastor Jack Hein at jhein@cornerstonenj.org.
Growing Deeper in Faith and Community
The longer you're part of Cornerstone, the more ways you'll find to connect and grow. Many people find that through Life Groups — small communities built around real relationships, where you can find care, support, and a sense of belonging. Others find it through Mentoring, connecting one-on-one with a seasoned follower of Jesus who can walk alongside you in faith, family, finances, friendships, and career. However it happens, growth is rarely something we do alone.
Find your people. Life Groups meet regularly to share life, dig into Scripture, and support one another through whatever comes.

Taking the Next Step
As your faith deepens, you may feel ready to take the next step by publicly declaring your faith through baptism. We are honored to offer baptism opportunities multiple times a year, as well as classes for those exploring whether they're ready to take this step.
For those ready to call Cornerstone home, membership is a formal way to join our church family. It's a way to serve and be served more deeply, to help choose our elders, and to have a voice in where our church is headed. A few times a year, Pastor Fred Provencher leads a series of classes for those ready to explore membership or learn more.
Membership Classes
At Cornerstone, we invite you to become more than an attendee; we want to welcome you to our church family. Join us for our Membership Class series on Tuesdays, from October 13th to November 3rd, at 7:00pm in the Lower Barn, where you’ll discover what meaningful membership truly means. We’ll explore the biblical truths, core beliefs, values, and guiding principles that shape our community. This class is designed to help you deepen your faith, connect with fellow believers, and find your unique place to serve and grow within our church.
Baptism
Baptism is a precious and sacred moment that followers of Jesus have experienced together for centuries throughout the world. As a church, we are honored to continue the tradition of baptism by immersion for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and seek to follow Him with their whole lives. We offer this opportunity of baptism multiple times a year for those who have made this decision with a celebratory Baptism and Worship gathering. We also offer classes for those who want to learn more about baptism as documented throughout the biblical texts and those who wish to explore their readiness or prepare to give their life to Christ in this way.

What's Next?
What's Next? is a podcast of Cornerstone Christian Church, built around one simple question: What's next? Next for Cornerstone as a whole. Next for you, as an individual growing in faith. And next for those we hope will one day walk through our doors.
