Who We Are

And Why it Matters

Cornerstone Presbyterian Church was organized as a congregation of US Presbytery of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) in 2012. This church faithfully seeks to preserve the Scriptural integrity and religious truths espoused in Scotland and many other places of the Reformation.

Our doctrine is reformed: a reference to the Bible doctrines re-discovered at the time of the Reformation in Europe. The government of our church is Presbyterian. This means that each congregation elects their office-bearers & minister to pastor them as was the case in the churches of the New Testament. These elders then group together in local church courts called Presbyteries. We also have regional Synods and a church-wide General Assembly,

Our Denomination

The Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) congregation is a Presbyterian denomination with congregations in the UK, Canada, USA, & Sri Lanka with works in Spain and France. We hold to the truth of the Bible in every word and love the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Lord's Day Worship

The morning and afternoon worship services consist of the singing, reading, and preaching of the Word of God. Our congregation sings from the Scottish Psalter. Examples of congregational singing can be heard here.

God’s Word is the foundation for every aspect of worship and the reading of Scriptures is an integral part of our service. Passages from the Old and New Testaments are read during worship to emphasize the prepared message.

The traditional reformed worship service is many times unfamiliar to those who are visiting. We invite you to come and join us and to learn more about what we believe concerning the worship of God.

Also, we invite all visitors to join us for a lunch fellowship following the morning worship service and catechism class every Lord’s Day. Food is provided by the congregation at large.

Communion Seasons

Cornerstone Presbyterian Church observes three communion seasons per year. The current communion schedule is the fourth Sabbath of March, July, and November. CPC holds a special preparation service on the Saturday before each communion Sunday at 6 PM.
