MISSION PAGE
Cornerstone is deeply committed to serving
the community and world. It is our hope that we encourage and motivate others to find the same
joy we have experienced in giving ourselves for others. “Truly I tell you, just as you did it
to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me”
(Matthew 25:40
NRSV).
Habitat for
Humanity: The first Saturday of
every month members of Cornerstone gather at the church office to head out to a Habitat work site. The day begins at 7:30 a.m.
and work finishes around 12:00
p.m. It is a day of good hard work and
Christian fellowship. The work of Habitat gives families with low income the opportunity to own
their first home. At the work site many of the families come to work with those who have come out
for the morning. Must be 16 years old to participate.
1st Saturday –
7:30 a.m. at the
church office.
Immokalee
Cookout: The third Saturday of
every month members of Cornerstone gather at the community park in Immokalee to prepare and feed over 500 individuals and
families. For many of those who come to the park this might be their only meal of the
day. Roger Roberts coordinates this ministry outreach and is always willing to have others
come join along.
3rd Saturday –
8:00 a.m. at Immokalee Community
Park.
Arroyo Blanco /
SisterChurch in
Cuba: Cornerstone is actively involved in a relationship with the Cuban Methodist Church . Arroyo Blanco Methodist Church is our sister
congregation. Together we pray for one another, share stories, and visit one another when ever
it is possible. Over the past six years Cornerstone has sent over 5 teams to visit in Cuba and
we have even had the joy of bringing our sister church pastor and his wife to spend a month with us.
Pray for the Cuban
Mission!
Pray for Arroyo

Grace Place
Ministry: Grace Place is an active ministry to
children and families in Naples own Golden Gate City . Under the direction of Stephanie Campbell Grace
Place has flourished into a ministry which celebrates after school programs,
English as a second language courses, family development programs, after school tutoring, summer camps, and a whole host of other
services. Grace Place
is for the whole community and Cornerstone is a part. Grace Place is always in need of volunteers, prayers, and support.
Grace Place
is part of our extended family in mission.
School in Haiti: Cornerstone supports a year round school in
Cay, Haiti. The school in Haiti serves local children and families by providing them with food, clothing, and
education. Cornerstone continues to support this mission and prays for the children who are
receiving support.
Serving never ends! These are just a few of the opportunities we offer at Cornerstone to reach out and connect with our
community and world. While these opportunities are a primary focus for Cornerstone this portrait
does not even come close to painting the picture of all that the members of Cornerstone do in their daily lives. Come on out and share!
