At Cornerstone Church, we take seriously the call to shepherd young children and youth with the word of God.  We desire for the gospel of Jesus Christ to save and radically change their lives.  It is our hope that through the teaching of God’s word, seeds of truth are being planted in their hearts that will eventually bloom into their genuine repentance and trust in Christ’s finished work on the cross for salvation (Romans 10:9-10).  After being radically transformed by the gospel through the Holy Spirit, it is our goal to present each of these children and youth complete in Christ (Colossians 1:28).

We also understand the importance of training qualified men and women to accurately teach the truths in God’s word to these precious children and young people.  All of our teachers are deacon or deaconess qualified and are already members or in the process of becoming a member.  In addition, we run background checks on all of our children and youth ministry workers for the safety and well-being of these young ones.

If you would like to serve in this ministry, please read and fill out the Volunteer Application, Children’s Ministries Handbook, and the Background Check Authorization and return them to Jill Freeman (jill.freeman@cornerstonejh.com). Please let Jill know if you have any questions concerning the Handbook.
