Be a part of the Network
If we truly believe that unity is something that is high on God’s agenda and by coming together we will enhance and amplify our strengths, then we must make networking a priority. As such, we have started the Cornerstone Global Network (CGN) and welcome those of like vision to join us.

Definitions of Membership
GLOBAL NETWORK BASE
A local network of churches and ministries that is under the direct apostolic authority of CSCC. The base will have at least 1 strong local church, and at least 5 church plants. The base should also consist of Bible schools, elementary schools, shelters, and/or orphanages that are under the direction of the base. The base should be having a major impact on the city and region in which it is located.
GLOBAL NETWORK CHURCH
A local church that has officially joined the Cornerstone Global Network (CGN). Network churches enter into a covenantal relationship, pledging to move in conjunction with one another and maintain a transparent and open relationship. These churches are under the direct apostolic authority of CSCC. Assistance will be given at the inception of the church, including the possibility of financial aid, but the church should have the goal of becoming financially independent as quickly as possible. Each network church is connected to every other network church.
GLOBAL NETWORK MINISTRY
A ministry that is not a local church but comes under the apostolic covering of CSCC. This could include works such as Bible schools, schools for children, shelters, and orphanages. These works are connected to every other part of our network and are an integral part of our strategy of taking the Gospel to every level of society. Whenever possible, people who are reached by our ministries should be funnelled to our local network churches for discipleship and follow-up.
GLOBAL NETWORK MINISTER
A minister that has a base, church or ministry within the Cornerstone Global Network (CGN). These ministers pledge to partner with other network ministers on a personal level and are committed to strengthening and blessing the other network ministers. The minister should be focused on expanding the CGN church or ministry work.
Personal Values
HOLINESS & MORAL INTEGRITY
We believe that holiness and moral integrity is a paramount requirement of ministry. The pursuit of holiness in every member’s life is essential to effective ministry for the Lord. The message of holiness must never be compromised in the church, but should courageously be proclaimed.
1 THESSALONIANS 4:3-8
1 CORINTHIANS 6:18-20
1 PETER 1:16
GENEROSITY & FINANCIAL INTEGRITY
We believe that there must be financial uprightness and honesty in all the dealings of every member’s life. The love of money should not govern our actions or motives but instead the Lord should be our source and provider. Moreover, every church should be known for generosity, that we give without expecting a return from any man. Our member’s lives should be marked by generosity as well.
1 TIMOTHY 6:9-10
LUKE 16:13
LUKE 6:38
SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY
Maintaining a consistent life of spiritual disciplines is essential to each believer. This includes prayer, the study of God’s word, fasting, tithing and evangelism.

EXPANSION
We believe that every church has a responsibility to expand the Kingdom of God. As such, evangelism and missions must always be at the forefront of the church. Over the long-term, churches should be growing in numbers and influence, as the Gospel is faithfully preached.

HUMILITY & SERVANTHOOD
We seek to advance the cause of the kingdom of God by esteeming others better than ourselves and serving one another in love (Phi. 2:1-11). We hold humility as a value that we will seek the glory of God alone and not our own. As Christ left for us a example to serve and love one another, we want to obey genuinely and exercise it practically in our relationships with one another.
