Our Beliefs
Cornerstone Baptist Church is an Independent King James Bible Believing Baptist Church which
-
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Bible, ‘as it is in truth, the word of God…’ (1 Thessalonians 2:13). We believe God inspired those words and then preserved them for every generation (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalms 12:6-8).

Therefore, we preach the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 7:14), his miracles, the fact that he lived a perfect, sinless life, died on a cross, shed His blood as an atonement for our sin, and rose from the dead on the third day
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4). - We believe in a literal heaven and hell (Acts 1:11; Revelation 20:11-15).
