Christian Lifestyle
PERSONAL EVANGELISM
That lost people matter to God and, therefore, ought to matter to the church.
MATURITY
That Christ’s followers should yearn for growth and seek to become mature and complete in Him. This is the vision of Zion.
SERVICE
That every member of the church has the potential and responsibility to be a servant of Christ with unique spiritual gifts to build up the Body.
EXCELLENCE
That excellence honours God and inspires people.
ROOTS
That every believer should seek to be baptised in the Holy Spirit for empowerment to be witnesses, evidenced with the Scriptural expression of speaking in tongues.
GIVING
We believe in the principle of tithing and that having a generous heart is a reflection of the God we serve.
MARRIAGE
That marriage is an exclusive union between a man and a woman, and by God’s command to be “fruitful and multiply”, marriage is for the special participation in God’s work of procreation of new human lives (Gen 1:28).
PROPHETIC
We believe that the prophetic ought to permeate the church to such a degree that every member in Cornerstone carries both prophetic and apostolic DNA.
Building a Spiritual House
ANOINTED
That anointed preaching and teaching is the catalyst for transformation in individuals’ lives and in the church.
RELEVANCE
That the church should be contemporary, creative and culturally relevant without any compromise on our doctrinal positions.
CELL COMMUNITIES
That life-change happens best in cell communities.
STRONG LEADERSHIP
That churches should be led by those called and appointed by God to be leaders and that its members should be submitted to God–ordained leadership.
INTERCESSORY PRAYER
Effective, fervent and heartfelt prayer changes things and as such, should be cultivated in every believer and the corporate Body as a whole.
CONSECRATION
We believe that in the matter of consumption of alcoholic beverages, that abstinence is preferred over moderation. For leadership roles in Cornerstone, abstinence from alcohol is compulsory.
