Cornerstone Church

Cornerstone is a church with passion, vision, and a strong desire to “Help People Follow Jesus.” Michael Nave was called as Lead Pastor in 2007 and believes God has called him to commit his life to the ministry of this church.

Weekend Services at Cornerstone Church are open to everyone. Be ready to soak in Spirit-led worship and gospel-centered teaching from God's Word with a gathering of believers who care about you. Whether you've been in church all your life or never crossed the threshold, you are welcome here.

Cornerstone desires to equip and inspire people to be the hands and feet of Jesus in their communities, which is illustrated by their generosity as well as the popularity of projects and community partnerships, such as “ServeSoILL”, a region-wide service project. The restorative ministry of Cornerstone’s Renew: Secondhand Stores (in Marion and Carbondale), is another great example of Cornerstone’s community involvement. These stores provide low-cost items to area citizens, while also funneling their profits right back into their communities. One of the ministries funded by Renew is called Kingdom Builders, which is comprised of volunteers who can do construction-related jobs, with the most popular project request being constructing wheelchair ramps for individuals who need accessible entrances to their houses.
