About Us
Cornerstone Church Colchester is a friendly local church in Colchester where all are welcome.
We are seeking to be a loving community, growing in Jesus Christ, by Word and Spirit.
A Loving Community
We call ourselves 'a family to belong to' rather than just an event to attend. Our relationships are built and strengthened through time together on a Sunday as well as during the week.
Growing in Jesus Christ
We are all seeking to grow in our knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus, so that we are better able to live in a way that's pleasing to Him and help others to do the same.
By Word
God's word in the Bible is at the centre of all we do. We have preaching on Sundays (expository, thematic or All Age) and Bible content at every meeting.
And Spirit
We know that we can achieve nothing without the power of the Holy Spirit, so we seek to practice a prayerful culture - on Sundays and throughout every meeting.
We are a member church of Anglican Mission in England, and through it are linked to the global Anglican Communion. We therefore adhere to the 39 Articles and Jerusalem Declaration.
Our Faith
We believe the Christian faith has good news to share...
God created humankind for his glory. So, every human should live for God’s glory.
But the reality is we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. Therefore, we all deserve eternal punishment.
Yet, in God's great mercy, He sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to provide a way to eternal life for sinners like us.
And amazingly, this eternal life is a free gift to all who will trust in Jesus as Lord and Saviour of their lives.
