ABOUT MEN'S MINISTRIES
Vision Statement
The vision of the Cornerstone Conference Men’s Ministry is to assist every congregation in developing an effective Men’s Ministry.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to build men’s faith, relationships and ministry, through resources we obtain, events we produce and ongoing leadership development. Create an atmosphere of support, encouragement and prayer for the pastor that is driven by Men’s Ministry. This ministry is about men encountering Jesus Christ and being developed in their faith to be all that Jesus wants them to be.
Core Values

This includes equipping and training for the work of ministry. II Tim. 3:16-17, Romans 12:1-2, I Peter 1:22-23, Hebrews 4:12

Family: We believe that the church is called to bring healing to the wounded family. This includes strengthening marriage, encouraging parents, recovery from divorce, ministering to singles, children and youth. Genesis 12:3, Ephesians 5:21-23

Community: We believe that the larger community is our responsibility. The church is called to heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free in the power of the Holy Spirit. This includes healing of spirit, soul and body through the Word of God, anointed prayer, counseling and supportive relationships. Matthew 5:35-42, Luke 4:18, Acts 4:29-30
