About Us
The church began in 1954 when a Sunday school was established, meeting in what is now Oakmead School with over 300 children attending. The current church hall was built while the surrounding housing estate was being developed and was opened on October 13th 1956 as West Howe Baptist Church. In 2009, the decision was taken to change the church's name to Cornerstone Church as Jesus himself is described as the 'cornerstone' and He alone is the reason and motivation for all we do in the church. It was also felt right to remove any geographical limitations from our title as we are here to welcome all, not just those in one particular area.
We are a church family with people from all sorts of backgrounds who together seek to worship God in a lively and informal manner in which we hope anyone of any age can feel at home. Our desire is to honour God in our worship, learn together through studying his word, strengthen ourselves in communion, care for one another and share the good news of His love with those about us. Our aim is to build our lives on Jesus - the 'cornerstone'.
We are members of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the Evangelical Alliance. We occasionally run Alpha courses.
