Cornerstone Church is where you connect with Christ and with each other!
The name “Cornerstone Church” was chosen as it represents the ‘bedrock’ of our belief and the foundation of Jesus Christ.
At Cornerstone we believe the church exists first and foremost for the worship of God and Jesus Christ and manifests this worship through six key components: Prayer, Fellowship, Discipleship, Bible, Ministry, Evangelism.
After serving on staff with Campus Crusade’s athletic ministry Athletes in Action for five years in California and North Carolina, Anthony studied theology, church history and leadership at Duke Divinity School and Denver Seminary, graduating in May 2001. Academic tours through Fuller Theological Seminary, University of Phoenix and Newburgh Theological Seminary finally produced Anthony’s Ph.D. in Homiletics in December 2011.
Highlights in ministry include being appointed as a chaplain to the USA Olympic Team in Barcelona, serving as the director for a discipleship program based in north Denver, and leading the congregation at Colorado Community Church, Rocky Mountain Community Church, and Cornerstone. Anthony also loves to do pre-marital counseling and weddings!
He’s been married 22 years to his wife Katheryn. They have three wonderful children. Anthony’s interests include backpacking, fishing, and Denver sports teams, but his favorite hobby is golf.
The Bible | All Scripture is self-attesting and being Truth, requires our unreserved submission in all areas of life. The infallible Word of God, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is a complete and unified witness to God’s redemptive acts culminating in the incarnation of the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.
On this foundation we affirm the following as Essentials of Our Faith:
God | We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ | Jesus Christ, the living Word, became flesh through his miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and his virgin birth. He who is true God became true man united in one person forever. He died on the cross, as a sacrifice for our sins. On the third day he arose bodily from the dead, he ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of God, he now is our Mediator.
The Holy Spirit | The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts of sin and draws us to the Savior. Indwelling our hearts, he gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service, and seals us for the day of redemption.
Salvation | Being estranged from God, and condemned by our sin nature our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God’s free grace; God credits his righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justifies them in his sight. Only those who receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
The Church | The true Church is composed of all persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, are united together in the body of Christ. The Church finds her visible, yet imperfect, expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the sacraments are administered in their integrity; where scriptural discipline is practiced, and where loving fellowship is maintained.
The Return of Christ | Jesus Christ will come again to the earth—personally, visibly, and bodily—to judge the living and the dead and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
The Great Commission | The Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations.
