We understand one of the most important decisions you can make is which church to visit. Visiting a church for the first time can be overwhelming and we want to answer a few questions so your visit with us can be the best experience for you and your family.
What are your Sunday Services like?
Each week at Cornerstone we provide two worship opportunities on Sunday mornings at 9:00am and 10:30am. You’ll find a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with exciting, contemporary worship music. We use a variety of worship elements to help provide an amazing experience and teach a practical, relevant message that will encourage and challenge you. Children are well-cared for in a loving, quality nursery and fun-filled Cornerstone Kids service.
What should I expect on my first visit?
When you turn into our main entrance you will see a sign (FIRST TIME GUESTS, PLEASE TURN ON YOUR FLASHERS. YOU’RE OUR VIP). Our parking lot volunteers will give you your VIP treatment! They will help you into one our guest parking spaces near the Worship & Children Center where you will then be introduced to one our greeters. They will help you and answer all your questions.
What do I wear?
You’ll find everything from casual clothes to business suits at our weekend services. Come in what is comfortable for you because at Cornerstone we are not concerned about what you look like or what you wear.
Where are you located?
Cornerstone Baptist Church is located at 2390 Master's Way, Darlington, SC.
What about my children?
At Cornerstone your children are a top priority. Our nurseries are clean, safe, and staffed with loving workers. We offer a dynamic children's ministry called Cornerstone Kids as well as life-changing ministry to students from middle school through college. If you have a preschooler through 8th grader, our greeters will help you get them registered at our Information Desk located in the Atrium.
Cornerstone Kids, infants through 5th grade, meet every Sunday morning at 9:00am and 10:30am. If you have an infant through 5th grader, our greeters will help you register them at our Information Desk located in the Atrium.
Our Cornerstone Student Ministry is the place to be for 6th-12th grade students. On Sunday mornings 6th, 7th, and 8th graders meet for TREK during the 10:30AM worship service in the upstairs Middle School room of the Worship & Children Center. On Sunday afternoons, Middle School students meet for LIFT in the Student Center from 4-6PM and High School students meets for ASCEND on Sunday evenings from 6-8PM in the Student Center. Every Wednesday evening our High School students join together for HSM Journey Groups from 6-8PM in Host Homes. The last Wednesday of each month, our Middle School students meet for The MIDDLE, a fun social event typically held in the Student Center from 6-8PM. For the most updated details on any of our student events, check out our CSM Calendar.

Will my children be safe?
Absolutely! During every Worship service or event you can be confident that your child is safe. Each Cornerstone volunteer goes through an extensive background check. We also use check-in/check-out procedures.
How can I be discipled and grow?
Cornerstone has adopted Aspire as the systematic study designed to disciple believers. Anyone desiring to be discipled can be paired with a discipler who has already completed the study. Each week combines rich theological content and clear practical application for your personal spiritual growth.
How can I meet others and get connected?
There are many ways to get involved. You can begin by attending Discover Cornerstone. Another great way to connect are Journey Groups. In each of these, you can build friendships, learn more about the life of our church, and have the opportunity to grow in your faith.
Why do you have Journey Groups?
At Cornerstone, we share Christ and share life through Journey Groups! As we continue to grow larger as a church, we work hard to grow deeper, as well. This happens primarily through Journey Groups, so we encourage all of our members to commit to group life. According to Ephesians 4:15-16, “Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” In the community of a Journey Group we fulfill this calling, intentionally growing in spiritual maturity and being equipped and mobilized for ministry (sharing life) and mission (sharing Christ).
How can I get involved in a Journey Group?
We believe it is God’s will for everyone at Cornerstone to be actively involved in a Journey Group, so please let us help you get connected! Click here to register online or stop by the Atrium on Sunday morning for more information.
