Our Core Values

Preaching

That anointed preaching and teaching is the catalyst for transformation in individuals‘ lives and in the church

Personal Evangelism

That lost people matter to God, and therefore, ought to matter to the church.

Relevance

That the church should be contemporary, creative and culturally relevant without any compromise on our doctrinal positions.

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.

Cell communities

That life-change happens best in cell communities

Excellence

That excellence honours God and inspires people.

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.

Empowerment

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.

Intercessory Prayer

That effective, fervent and heartfelt prayer changes things and as such, should be cultivated in every believer and the corporate Body as a whole.

Apostolic

In the mobilising, equipping and releasing of mature Christians into the mission fields for the establishment of contextualised churches and mission centres.

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)

Consecration

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.

Prophetic

That the prophetic ought to permeate the church to such a degree that every member in Cornerstone carries both prophetic and apostolic DNA.

Giving

In the principle of tithing and that having a generous heart is a reflection of the God we serve.

Israel

In the full restoration, destiny and God’s end time purposes for the Nation of Israel and thus openly support and pray for Israel.
