Once upon a time there were two separate and distinct families, rich in heritage, heart, and accomplishments. God's direction to join these lineages was one that caused all who witnessed to be in awe of our great God and His plan. In June of 2000, the Ellerslie Baptist Church and the Wesley Heights Baptist Church united to become the Cornerstone Baptist Church of Ellerslie, Georgia.

The marriage of these two congregations has been a divine blending of talents, gifts, strengths and boundless love. The corporate fellowship of Cornerstone reveals the greatness God has in store for our newlywed congregation. Friendships have broadened to include the two churches as one, rich in potential.

Our theme for the next decade announces the vision of what Cornerstone hopes to see. "A Decade of Difference" speaks volumes to those within our assembly. We hope, in God, that our differences will be reflected in the private and personal relationship we have in Jesus Christ. Our differences will be mirrored in the corporate worship we share. Our differences will reach a lost and needy community with the Good News of salvation. Our hearts and giving will exhibit the difference in our abiding commitment to missions, home and abroad.

The Cornerstone history is beginning. Our legacy has the foundation of two distinct fellowships. God brought us together to be ONE mighty voice. Ten years from now, our history will reflect our "Decade of Difference" declaration. Earth will not contain the bounty of eternal treasure.
