Serve in Our Community
Cornerstone Church is active in breaking the cycle of poverty in our local community. One way we help the people of Cornerstone know Jesus, is by providing opportunities to serve in the Greater Grand Rapids Area. We believe Jesus will be made known throughout West Michigan through our acts of service, love, and by sharing how God is at work in and through each of us, His followers.
Feed Kids
1 in 5 children in West Michigan doesn’t have enough food, especially on the weekends. That’s why there’s Hand2Hand of Cornerstone – a ministry that gets food to over 400 kids during the school year who need it each weekend!
Mentor & Pray for Kids
Cornerstone Church is committed to school partnerships and investing in kids in our communities. One way you could positively impact a child is through a one-on-one mentoring relationship through Kids Hope USA.
Love In the Name of Christ
Love INC SKC (Love In the Name of Christ, South Kent County) is a network of local churches working together to help meet needs and impact lives in the name of Jesus!
Feed Families
The 2nd Wednesday of every month, we host a mobile food pantry at 84th St. that 100 families depend on! The mobile food pantry is a drive-through, no contact experience, where volunteers direct traffic, push carts with food to vehicles and load food into trunks. Tracy Bowers would love to hear from you if you can help: TracyB@cornerstonemi.org or just come to the 84th St. Campus on Mobile Food Pantry days, 3:30pm-5pm.
