About the church

Cornerstone Chapel began as a church plant in 2002. The building was dedicated the following year, in 2003, and we have been here since.

We stand firmly on the Bible while not being tied to any particular style, and over the years we have welcomed people from many countries. After the service each Sunday, everyone brings a packed lunch and we share the meal together. It is a homely church.
