...let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.



Cornerstone Bible Church Mission

Cornerstone Bible Church was founded in 1978 to reach the Fort Ann, New York area with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The ministry has always been centered on the Great Commission message of Jesus Christ to "Make Disciples" by proclaiming the gospel to evangelize the lost and then to build up and teach those who believe. 

To fulfill this mission the church has a blend of ministries to all ages of people from the youngest on up. We value every generation and want to touch the hearts of all people. We desire to build up a local body of believers in our area to be a church that provides the Christian family, fellowship, training, and ministry service to make each one mature in the love and knowledge of our Savior.




Summary Of What We Believe

God eternally exists in three persons; the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all and in seven literal days created this earth, universe, and all that lives and dwells here. However the mankind He created rebelled against His authority and by disobedience became sinful in both nature and practice.

Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became a sinless man without ceasing in any way to be God. By His death, burial and resurrection He did everything that is needed to forgive our sin, to declare us to be righteous forever before God, and to freely give eternal life to everyone who will trust Him for it.

The Holy Spirit convicts people of their sinfulness before God, enables them to understand their need of Jesus Christ to be their Savior, and gives them the eternal life they can obtain no other way. Salvation is the free gift of God's grace. It is not dependent on our works. As we could do nothing to earn our salvation, we can do nothing to lose it. Salvation is the result of our being spiritually born again. We are made alive spiritually as children of God.

Each saved person possesses two natures, the sin nature that we were physically born with and the new nature that we were born with spiritually at the moment of salvation. God provides all that is necessary for us to live in the Holy Spirit's power and fullness which is manifested by the Fruit of the Spirit.

The Church is the "body of Christ" on the earth. It is distinct from Israel and is the entity through which God is ministering today to take His message of love and salvation to the world.

Satan introduced sin into the creation by rebelling against God. He introduced sin into the human line by drawing us, through Adam and Eve, into his rebellion. Satan, the angels who followed him in sin and people who reject God's provision of salvation will all be cast from God's presence forever in hell and eventually in the "lake of fire."




Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief Cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
