PROGRAMS & RETREATS
CornerstoneOut of an abundance of caution, there are no Cornerstone Retreats scheduled. Once the pandemic restrictions are lifted we will make plans to renew this program.
What is Cornerstone?
Cornerstone is a unique retreat that is designed to provide participants with an opportunity to revitalize and deepen their spiritual lives through a combination of quiet reflection and prayer, and the sharing of their faith journeys. It is a spiritual process that brings men and women together to grow in knowledge and love of God. Cornerstone calls together men and women to experience personal conversion and Christian community. It is an active retreat, as team members share personal stories of hope, groups gather for discussion and Scripture is presented, with interludes for recreation and prayer.
Who runs the Cornerstone weekend?
The Cornerstone Weekend is facilitated by men and women just like you who have previously experienced a Cornerstone retreat and are excited to provide the experience to you. Each team member will share their gifts in a variety of ways, such as leading small group discussions, speaking on selected themes, praying with Scripture, planning prayer services and selecting decorations for the weekend. Team members have specific roles, but share one goal: to support you in growing personally in knowledge and love of God.
