The COrnerstone Team

At Cornerstone Church, we recognise two officers in the church: elders, who govern and oversee the church; and deacons, who support the elders with practical implementation. The work of the church is further supported by our staff team and board of trustees.

Cornerstone elders

We believe that God raises up and the church recognises elders, who govern and shepherd the church. The team of elders carry responsibility before God for the doctrine, discipline, direction and devotion of the church.
