It’s August 1980 in South Akron. A small-but-growing group of Jesus-followers call themselves “Cornerstone Church.” They rally behind the mission of helping people find the Father, a family, and a fulfilling future. And that’s exactly what they do...day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. But as Cornerstone advanced the Kingdom of God, a perfect storm of opposition sought to snuff it out, culminating in the COVID-19 pandemic that brought the world—and many churches—to a halt. In fact, the average lifespan of a church is 40 years. August 2020 could’ve been our swan song. But that’s not where the story ends. It’s where the story begins again. August 2020 now marks the launch of renewed ministry at Cornerstone, and a re-establishment of our mission to help people find the Father, a family, and a fulfilling future. It’s the start of what we believe will be banner year after banner year, seeing God moving in our midst. It’s a brand new day—but it’s a lot like our first day...

We’re four years into renewed ministry at Cornerstone Church—and we have seen God move in mighty ways! But we’re by no means content. With God being our help, we want to take over the city of Akron for the Kingdom of God—emphasis on God being our help. We will approach God’s throne with shameless persistence, begging Him to move in our midst.
