The United Brethren in Christ denomination made public their intention to merge into the Missionary Church denomination. This prompted Decatur Missionary to contact Decatur United Brethren in Christ Church with a proposal to merge the two local churches into one larger church.
history of Cornerstone
2003
2004
The vision that God brought called for a new identity for both churches. The Decatur Missionary Church building was put up for sale and was sold within days. On October 23, 2004, Cornerstone Community Church was dedicated with the elder board established with equal members from both churches.
2006
With the continuing growth of Cornerstone, the church saw fit that it needed more room. Thus the building of the activity center. The activity center was designed to host fellowship gatherings and allow for church events.
Today
With the expansion of a land for future needs Cornerstone is continuing to grow and bring more and more people to Christ. The ministries of Cornerstone have seen many changes but have always been centered in teaching of the messiah and His promises to us through His word.
