ABOUT US
Cornerstone is a new church coming to Centerton, Arkansas. It was started by a small group of believers with a desire to see the gospel spread to this corner of Bentonville. In the summer of 2024, Ross Chartrand became the pastor of Cornerstone and their church planting efforts began in earnest.
We look forward to launching worship services in September 2025. Between now and then, we're working to prepare our worship plans, reach out to our neighborhood in Centerton, and continue growing in our knowledge & desire for God's word as a group.

About Cornerstone
As believers, we are motivated by Jesus' command to go and make disciples and comforted by his promise to be with us always, until the end (Matthew 28).
As a "mission church," we understand that our primary focus isn't to go to church to be served, but to employ ourselves in service to others. It's our prayer that by showing self-sacrificial love to our neighbors, we can be a visible reflection of the love Christ showed us.
What is a mission church?
Since we're in the early years of our church, we currently rent a space at ***.
Though it's a bit nontraditional, it's a helpful reminder that Cornerstone is not a place or a building. No—God makes his home in his people. He does his work through us, as we are spurred on by the love Christ showed to us.

What do you have for Kids?
Our worship services use a liturgy, or structure, that repeats weekly—with songs, scripture readings, and a sermon that follow a unifying theme each week.
It's our goal to make our worship comfortable and edifying, whether you're new to church or if you've been attending weekly since you were a kid.
