Mark Twain once said, “All you need for a good education is a log with a good student on one end and a good teacher on the other end.”

Well, since Cornerstone was formed (in September of 2003) this has been our log. We are in the beginning stages of buying land and building our own home, but for the present, the gymnasium of Hagemann Elementary School is serving us just fine.

We have the very best of teachers (Jesus, the Son of God Himself), and together we are learning to become better students of the faith and life that he is teaching us. He instructs us in these things every week through his Word, his Spirit, his gospel, his worship, his sacraments, and through the fellowship of his assembled people.

These are the basic things you need for a good church. Pews and stained glass are nice, but our log is all that is necessary. One day we’ll probably look back on it nostalgically.
