The Christian life is best lived in community and one of the ways this happens at Cornerstone is through Growth Groups. 

Growth Groups provide us a small number of brothers and sisters from within Cornerstone who journey with us for the year. It is the group (of around 8-12 people) where you are known, loved, and cared for. It is the place where, each week, together, you develop your understanding of the Bible, and grow in your response to it as you live it out during the week. It’s the place where you can pray with one another, support each other. With all the challenges we face in 2024, it’s another year where we need more than ever regular time in God’s Word in community with others.

Newish

Are you newish to our church? Newish Connect is a group that runs continuously to welcome newcomers to our church. It is a great starting point for anyone new to Cornerstone; we'd love you to complete this five-week course before you join a Growth Group. Dig into the Bible looking at one of the five key building blocks our church is built on. It is a great way to get to know other people too. After completing five topics over five nights we'll help you with the next step in church life, including joining a Growth Group.
