How can we pray for Cornerstone Community Church?
We are starting a renewal phase to encourage church growth.
CCC is a merger nine years ago of two 100-plus year-old congregations and is half Mennonite Brethren and half North American Baptist. During the merger there were some hiccups, but it was overall positive for both the community and the people of Cornerstone, says Pastor Jeffrey Blomquist. “It would not have been as successful if the two congregations did not a line so well doctrinally,” he says.
CCC has a large Awana program with around 85 children coming every Wednesday along and a youth group that averages more than 20 students. CCC is reaching more children on Wednesdays than adults on Sunday.
CCC has a very active quilting ministry and donates more than 100 quilts/comforters to MCC every year. April 2024 photo: CCC
Pastor Blomquist preached from the back of a pickup during CCC’s drive-in church held during the COVID-19 outbreak in April 2020. They had a larger attendance during these drive-in church services than when CCC resumed indoor services. Photo: CCC
