Ways to Serve
At Cornerstone, we have many ministry teams built around specific needs in our congregation.
As you look to use your gift and talents in service to the kingdom, please note that we have a wide variety of needs. If you don't feel like your gifts fit any of these ministry teams, don't despair, we likely have other ways you can plug in.
