 Cornerstone Baptist Church Cornerstone Baptist Church has been in existence for over 50 years. The congregation initially began meeting in a home under the name of Ridgeview Baptist Church. The church changed its name to Cornerstone Baptist in 1976 when they purchased a farmstead just east of Eldridge, IA. Over the years the church has gone through several building additions and improvement projects to meet the changing demands of the community it is serving. The most recent project (in 2003) was to build an addition called R.O.C.K. center (groundbreaking was on 8/25/02). The acronym stands for Reaching Others for Christ’s Kingdom and consists of a multi purpose gym, kitchen, café, classrooms, and church offices. The purpose of building the facility was to expand their facilities so that they can reach even more folks for the Kingdom. God has blessed this vision of the church with continued growth over the years. The BGC Cornerstone Fund recently partnered with the church to re-finance their existing loan for the ROCK center. The result of this partnership is that the church has been lowered the interest rate on the loan, allowing it to put more of the church’s income to work impacting their community for Christ while knowing that the interest being paid is used to assist other BGC church and ministries. |
