Missions Corner: Come Meet Church Leaders from India

On Wednesday, October 2 at 7:30pm, a team of church leaders from India will be in Annandale as guests of Cornerstone EFC and Keith Simmons. They are leaders in Bible Pathways, the EFCA/ReachGlobal program to train domestic and international church leaders to better preach, share and understand the Gospel.

All are invited; please consider joining us in welcoming this group and hear their story. Contact outreach@cornerstoneefree.org for location details.

International Friends has begun the 2024 Fall Semester!

Students gather on Wednesday nights to enjoy fellowship, practice English and join a conversation group - always with an invitation to study the Bible and hear the Gospel. First, they fuel up with a meal. Our students aren't picky - they eat all flavors and cuisines. About half our students are vegetarians, and many do not eat pork/ham/bacon. Each Wednesday, we need a vegetarian meal for 20 and a meat meal for 20.

To provide a meal (consider signing up with your community group to lighten the load), please sign up by clicking the button below!

Quotes from Church History

"We are neither the first nor the smartest to read the Bible."

-Dane Ortlund

"Do not put yourself at odds with the Word of God. For truly it will persist as surely as the Rhine follows its course. One can perhaps dam it up for awhile, but it is impossible to stop it."
-Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531)
