The most important part of our music ministry is the congregational worship and praise. One of the primary purposes of our coming together on Sunday is to “worship the Father in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23). At Cornerstone Church we worship seriously, joyfully, and enthusiastically. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the worship of our Lord.
