Every Life Matters

& EVERY LIFE IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

At Cornerstone Christian Church, it is our heart’s desire to build and invest in community. We do so through worshiping together, meeting in small groups, and serving our community through a variety of programs. We believe that every life matters to God and is an important part of our community.

It is our goal to create an inclusive community that welcomes and celebrates those with special needs and partners with their families. Our church family is passionate about our Special Needs Ministry and we are excited to see it grow!

We believe every child deserves to experience God's love in a safe, welcoming environment. Our 9:00am Kids Church features a dedicated Special Needs classroom staffed with trained adult buddies who provide individualized support for children with special needs.

In this nurturing space, your child will enjoy age-appropriate Bible lessons and engaging activities alongside their personal buddy, who offers support with sensory needs, comfort, and safety. Our buddies are specially trained to create positive experiences tailored to each child's unique needs.

To ensure we're fully prepared to welcome your child with the biggest smiles and all necessary supports in place, we ask new families to complete our Special Needs Info Form prior to your first visit. This helps us create the most positive and safe experience possible for your family.

We're honored to partner with you in your child's spiritual journey.

Sign up your child for our Special Needs classroom or buddy program. Buddies are assigned based on volunteer availability.

We’re looking for volunteers who can assist with our Special Needs Ministry. There are several volunteer opportunities ranging from Sunday mornings to midweek buddies to special events.

Night to Shine is one of our favorite events of the year! It's a prom night experience centered around God's love for people with special needs. In partnership with the Tim Tebow Foundation, we plan a magical evening dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for all attendees to shine and be celebrated.

Our Night to Shine celebration is such a blast, complete with red carpet treatment, cheering fans, paparazzi, food, dancing, and a crowning ceremony where each guest was crowned king or queen!

Our 2025 Night to Shine was such an amazing night and we are already looking forward to next year's event!
