THE CORNERSTONE CHURCH STORY

Pastor Mark Lehmann has served as the Lead Pastor of Cornerstone Church for
twenty-eight years. His heart is to build a church that looks like and acts like
Heaven. From the humble beginnings of around 100 people, the Lord has
blessed them in incredible ways, creating a diverse and outward-focused
congregation representing some 75 nations. Now approximately 3,000 people
call Cornerstone their church home. Through God’s amazing faithfulness,
Cornerstone is becoming the body of believers He designed them to be.
The phrase “One Church Can Change the World” is a vision that the entire
Cornerstone family has embraced. That Kingdom-minded emphasis has people
from all over the region joining together to send and support more than 300
missionaries in 110 nations. Whether it’s local outreaches, campus
ministry, trafficking intervention, or international feeding programs Cornerstone
is engaged and committed to giving away at least 35% of its
income each year.
Of course, none of this is possible without devoted prayer. Each year
Cornerstone starts the first three weeks with a time of prayer and fasting. It sets
the tone for the rest of the year. For over twenty-five years, Saturday night
prayer has been a concentrated time of worship and calling out to God for the
needs of the world. The continued growth of this ministry is impossible without
prayer.
The culture in our nation is divided by many things but Cornerstone keeps the
focus on being Christ-centered, prayer-focused, and outreach-driven. Moving
forward they see God’s preparation for a new season of impact and growth as
local families are looking for answers and hope. Their heart is to equip the
Cornerstone family to be an “Authentic Community, Lifting up Jesus, Growing in
Him, and Touching our World”, through weekend experiences (services),
discipleship and growth groups, serving teams, and outreaches both locally and
globally.

BOWIE, MARYLAND

Bowie enjoys a rich and diverse historic and cultural heritage. This historic city
traces its roots to 1870, when land developers subdivided the area into more than
500 residential building lots, creating a large town at a major junction of the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad. Since incorporation in 1874 as Huntington, the city
has changed its name (in honor of resident Governor Oden Bowie) and has become
a dynamic community, rivaling the most prosperous cities in the region.
Bowie and the surrounding area is the perfect location for anyone looking for a new
place to call home and to serve in an exciting, diverse, and world-changing place.
Washington D.C. is only 30 minutes away and Annapolis, the state capital, is a
twenty-minute drive. If you want a change of scenery, you can travel two hours to
the beach or two hours to the mountains. Besides the influence and the history, the
best part of the area is its people. They have come from different backgrounds,
nations, and histories, but have all chosen to come together to this vicinity to live,
grow, and find hope in Jesus. There isn’t anything else like it around – the diversity of
ethnicity and age you see is also well reflected inside the walls of Cornerstone
Church.
