The church is Christ's body, of which he is the head. As a faithful branch of Christ's church, Cornerstone acknowledges Jesus Christ as her only head and His Word as the final authority in all matters of faith and life.
Cornerstone focuses on the worship of God, education in the Word of God, preaching the "Good News" of the gospel, ministries of mercy, and godly discipline. Our church leaders ensure that the Word of God is faithfully preached, that the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper are properly administered, and that spiritual care is lovingly and effectively provided.
Since the Scriptures are "the rule of faith and life," our confessions and creeds subordinate themselves to God's Word, declaring that "in all controversies of religion, the church is finally to appeal unto them". The OPC, under the lordship of Jesus Christ, is guided in all matters by the Word of God, as illuminated by the indwelling Holy Spirit. The Church endeavors, humbly and prayerfully, to follow the Bible's teachings, regardless of the world's current "wisdom." This is our faith and life.
