Weddings
We desire to see marriage flourish in love and obedience to Jesus and hold the belief that God’s design for marriage, as portrayed in the Bible, is that of a sacred covenant between a man and a woman. Therefore, our Alpha Marriage Preparation Course and other marital courses are designed to assist and enrich your marriage, helping you build a strong base for a fulfilling and enduring relationship, one that reflects Christ.

Baptism
Baptism is a sacrament because it is an outward sign of God’s grace, and ordinance because it was instituted by Christ. Baptism is the first act of obedience for a believer who has committed their life to Christ. While it is not required for salvation, it is a clear command of Jesus and the early church, serving as an initiation into a life of following Him and an expression of obedience to His calling.



Baby dedication
The arrival of a new baby is a time of rejoicing for any family. Often, during this time, parents want to celebrate their joy with others and present their child to God for blessing. This special event is what we at Cornerstone refer to as baby thanksgiving (baby dedication) and can be held either during a Sunday service (preferred option) or at home with family and friends.
