Cornerstone Worship Center of Palestine
| Vision Statement 2009 |
We believe that God has called us to reach the un-churched of our city by providing a caring structure
for families, diversity in worship, caring groups, and knowledge of spiritual gifts.
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven
and in earth.
Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold,
I am with you all the days until the end of the world. Amen.
Mission Value Statement
• We believe that the process of becoming a disciple of Jesus involves: Salvation, Baptism, Prayer,
and Ongoing learning about the Christian life, Regular worship, and participation in activities that utilize
one’s spiritual gifts for ministry.
• We value the bible as the inspired Word of God from which Christians learn about God’s truths.
• We believe in the importance of stewardship of time, talents, treasures, and the earth’s resources
as a sign of a mature Christian faith.
• We believe that evangelism is the role of every Christian.
• We believe that our congregation is meant to be multicultural serving one God in unity.
Psalm 133:1-3
A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard,
even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of
Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life forevermore.
• We are a charismatic church, in other words we believe in the contemporary operation of the
gifts of the Holy Spirit as described in. 1 Corinthians Chapter 12
• We will be unapologetic but gracious to those that disagree with our charismatic believe or
practices. We are not ashamed of the Holy Spirit, His activities, His gifting, His power or the things He
does that are not natural to our mind or other believers in our society. We should never compromise
our belief or practices for the sake of church growth or social respect.
• As we go forward it is our vision and passion to help as many churches and the un-churched gain
an understanding of a healthy church environment.
• We will do this through outreach, relationship, conferences, and ministry resources.

We will be scripturally sound, but culturally sensitive to needs, hurts, and opportunities.
We will develop ministries as the Lord leads to reach the lost, lonely, needy and hurting people.
We will start a building fund or program to be able to facilitate the growth of our church.
We will have street outreaches, such as “Day at the Park” with Cornerstone, Softball Tournaments,
and press toward growing our Bus Ministry.
We will always seek to have dynamic praise and worship, which allows the move of the Spirit to bring
the lost and hurting to the altars, Personal Ministry, Ministry of the Word, and Evangelism.
We will give regular expression and honor to God’s spirit and His power.
He is the Spirit of the church and it is only by His power that we can succeed. As CWC grows and
moves forward
We will keep a commitment and focus on prayer, we will make prayer a vital part of our culture on
every level of the church.

The growth of our church occurs through the natural process of reproduction, much like our bodies.
Healthy bodies produce healthy offspring.
We will strive for a healthy church here at Cornerstone Worship Center aggressively
pursuing these areas.
• Evangelism: Matthew 28:18-20
This scripture inspires our commitment to constantly winning people to Christ. Everything we do will
revolve around fulfilling this objective. We will not forget those who are lost and dying in a world that
is forever increasing the size of hell. Our Society is decaying and growing with religious deception. We
must remind ourselves that the answer is Jesus and Jesus alone. We have been commanded by him to
preach his name until his return. We at CWC will boldly and constantly and aggressively preach the
gospel.
• Discipleship
We will continue to train and raise up and disciple those who have been brought to us so that they find
their place of fulfillment and purpose in the body of Christ. We must train and release disciples into the
fullness of their calling in God’s kingdom
• Local Missions
By supporting our local missions we can impact our city for Christ, such as our Crisis Center, Teen
Challenge, feeding the hungry, and clothing the poor. CWC getting involved in our community as our
church becomes a healing station.
