HISTORY
Cornerstone Community Church was founded in October 1991 with five familes as a discipleship Bible study group in one of the members homes. In September of 1992, CCC was constituted as a church. As the body of Christ grew, it moved from the living room to the Middle School, to the Crystal Room, and then 2nd street. Finally finding its home at the present location. With several acres for future development, CCC will continue growing to meet the needs of Seymour.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
* The Bible is the divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.
* There is one God, in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
* Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, He died an atoning death, bodily resurrected, ascended to the Father's right hand, and will return to this earth in power and glory.
* Salvation only comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, having confessed with your mouth and believed in your heart.
* The ministry of the Holy Spirit is for today, it convicts, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, enlightens and empowers believers for Godly living and imparts spiritual gifts for the edification of the Body of Christ.
* The church is the spiritual body of which Christ is the Head.
* We actively participate in the ordinances of water baptism by immersion after conversion and the Lord's Supper.
* There will be the resurrection of the human body and the eternal existence of all people in heaven or hell.
