VISION STATEMENT
The vision of Cornerstone is patterned after Acts 1:8, “…and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” This corresponds with our objective to reach Midland-Odessa, Texas, the United States, and the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our vision, impact, and influence will be affected through teaching and preaching God’s Word. This includes but is not limited to salvation, deliverance, healing, the infilling of the Spirit (i.e. baptism in the Holy Spirit) speaking in other tongues, and the assurance that the Spirit still manifests Himself presently through spiritual gifts.
Our vision will be accomplished as a result of Cornerstone being heralded as a place where the physically sick, regardless of condition or diagnosis, are presently healed by the power of Jesus Christ.
Our vision will be accomplished as a result of earnestly seeking the Lord’s will through prayer, implementing His objectives, and allowing Him to move by His Spirit in our midst.
Our vision will be accomplished through small groups that minister to the needs and desires of those who worship with us.
Our vision will be accomplished through an increasing number of believers being added to the church and assuming their place of service within this local assembly.
Our vision will be accomplished through local outreaches within our own community.
Our vision will be accomplished through continuing to prayerfully and financially support missionaries in their gospel endeavors throughout the world.
Our vision will be accomplished through utilizing and maximizing modern technologies and multi-media ministry outlets.
Our vision will be accomplished through the continuance of short-term mission trips throughout the world by leadership and laity from Cornerstone.
Our vision will be accomplished because of our acknowledgement that we exist solely for the purpose of glorifying God and advancing His kingdom. With this awareness, we are assured that as good financial stewards of the resources He will continue to bless us with, we will continue to grow as a body and increase without concerns for limitation. He will do “exceeding, abundantly above all that we can ask or think.”
