About Cornerstone Church of the Nazarene

Cornerstone Church of the Nazarene is a dynamic church located in Santa Maria, CA.  Our beliefs are based on the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ.  Our mission is very simple: to lead people to honor and glorify Jesus Christ. That means we’re not about a building or some complicated religious system, but about helping people discover the joy that comes from knowing and serving Jesus Christ.

We know that going to a new church can be intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you’ll feel welcome and not like an outsider. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. You’ll discover a warm atmosphere, practical teaching from God's Word and lots of friendly people pursuing God together. God made a promise in the Bible that if we seek after Him, we’ll find Him. You are a valued part of God’s creation and His deep desire is to be in a relationship with you. So come and join us as we pursue God together!

Faith

Have you desired to have a deeper spiritual life or to know God? Or maybe you have you felt an emptiness in your heart or shame in your life.         We are all made to have a relationship with God.  And within that relationship we find our purpose, a real spiritual connection, fulfillment, and forgiveness.  That is not to say that every problem will be solved and you won’t experience any pain or suffering. Life always contains these things, but when we have a relationship with God we have Someone with us helping us through those hard things. 

At Cornerstone, we are ordinary people, just like you. There aren’t any super-Christians here, but there are some people who love being on the journey of faith with some good friends.  We come from all walks of life and we are learning what it means to live in authentic Christian community. Either way, we encourage you to explore God more to grow in your faith.

Family

At Cornerstone Church of the Nazarene we believe a church family should be a place for people of all ages.  Every Sunday we encourage families to experience church together - children, youth and adult - which provides a family friendly, intergenerational environment for all ages to encounter Christ and learn from one another.

Leadership

Cornerstone Church of the Nazarene is guided by a leadership team who provide overall direction and watch over the spiritual needs of the church. Our pastors provide sound, practical, biblical teaching at each worship service.  They have received theological and pastoral training and are equipped to share God's love with our local community. Cornerstone Church of the Nazarene is blessed to have a lay leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will.
