Cornerstone Community

Cornerstone Community UMC is engaged in a mission to enrich and transform lives through the life and teachings of Jesus and to build a community of love and service by the way we care for each other --- offer hospitality to everyone who comes through our doors --- and by joining with other groups and churches in the area to serve and assist the most vulnerable members of Placer County.

We value tolerance, diversity, open mindedness, and a faith that actively explores and applies the teachings of Jesus to life today. We embrace our denomination’s slogan of OPEN HEARTS – OPEN MINDS – OPEN DOORS – as we are striving to practice an open and inclusive Christianity that is far more interested in compassion than purity. Of special concern to us are those who have been hurt or excluded by the Church in the past. As the Jesus of history did not exclude anyone from being in relationship with him, it is our desire to include all who wish to be a part of this community who gathers in his name.

We do not presume to tell people what to think or believe. Ours is a community of free inquiry. We explore together our faith document, the Bible, and the Tradition that has been handed down to us, using our Reason along with personal Experience to determine what we believe and how we will act. There is room within this spiritual community for a wide variety of viewpoints on faith and life. Indeed, we believe that we are enriched by this variety.

God focused and Spirit led on the path of Jesus is what we want to be about. Whoever you are, wherever you are on the journey of faith --- you are welcome here.
