In 2025, our year-end giving is all about coming together to invest in the Next Gen. Our year-end gifts this year will be focused in two areas: Toward 2026 Cornerstone summer camps and toward future facility upgrades for students and children’s areas.

Focus #1 – 2026 Summer Camps
Each year, we encourage our church to help supplement camp costs for kids and students attending summer camp with our Invest Wall. This effort helps make camp affordable for all and provides scholarships for those who are most in need. This year we are including our INVEST WALL giving in our year-end push instead of in February. Our team has set incredible goals for camp this summer. Your investment will make sure our students have an incredible experience and the opportunity to be impacted by the hope of Christ. The first $50k of our year-end giving will be earmarked toward summer camps.

Focus #2 – Future Facilities Refresh
At the conclusion of our new worship center construction, our kids and students will both move into “new” spaces as well. Students will move to the current worship center and kids will move to the current student room. The costs to freshen up those areas is not in our “Phase 1” construction budget. The second $50k of our year-end giving will be earmarked to refresh and remodel the basics on those spaces to ensure they will fit the needs of our Next Gen.

Invest in the Next Gen: 
If you are considering a year-end gift, if you’ve been an Invest Wall investor before, if you’d like to make sure our Kids and students have a refreshed space to move into, or if you have a heart for the Next Gen, would you consider a gift that invests in the Next Gen this year? Your gift will be a part of our $100,000 goal to invest in the Next Gen.

Join us on a 25-Day journey as we focus in on the reason for this season-- Jesus!

Follow along with our Christmas checklist full of family fun and holiday spirit!

Kids are important at Cornerstone! 
We are offering children's programming for kids from birth to 5th grade for every Christmas service. We provide a safe space as well as a fun environment for learning about Jesus.

Our services are designed around helping people worship in an environment that is as distraction free as possible while connecting with others and learning about Jesus.  Our Christmas services will include times of worship through singing as well as a message from our Lead Pastor, Chris VandeLinde.

Cornerstone is an Independent non-denominational church. Cornerstone is staff led, but is overseen by a team of elders.
