Cornerstone Apostolic Church was founded on July 13, 1997, with a call and a vision to be a place where the lost, the hurting, and the backslider could come and find salvation, healing, and restoration. We set out to find a place where we could begin this new work. We started out with about 11 people as we rented a vacant brick church building located on US Highway 460 East at Mouthcard, Kentucky. This building was fully furnished and ready to start having services in, and it also met our budget that we had at that time. This building would be our location for the next 14 months. On our very first service, we had 94 people in attendance and one person started praying, as this would prove to be the beginning of many wonderful things to come. The following weeks, we were either having someone to start praying or we were baptizing someone. The Lord was abundantly blessing our humble beginnings.
We had ground breaking on May 9, l998 with about 35 or 40 in attendance. We then entered into a building program to build a building 40′ x 104′ that would have Cathedral Ceilings in the Sanctuary, a Balcony in the back, an upstairs and downstairs in the back, 5 Sunday School Rooms, Kitchen/Dining Area, two handicap accessible restrooms, a heated Baptistry, a paved parking area, and a seating capacity of approximately 190 people. Within 4 months from Ground Breaking, we had our first service in the finished Sanctuary on September 27, l998. After a few services in the new building, we held our Dedication Service on October 18, l998. Our record attendance was set during the Dedication Services with 175 in attendance.
Since that Dedication Service, we have had many revivals, hosted a Gospel Sing with the nationally known gospel group The McGruders, and even took a Church trip to Eureka Springs Arkansas to tour a life size replica of the Tabernacle of Moses.
As our Youth Department began to grow, we once again entered into a building program. We broke ground for the new Cornerstone Apostolic Church Youth wing on September 12, 2010. One year later, construction was finished, and on September 11, 2011 we dedicated the new 2400 sq. ft. Dining Area along with the new 2400 sq. ft. Upper Room of the C.A.C.Y. wing. The Cornerstone Apostolic Church Youth (C.A.C.Y.) wing is used for youth events and Sunday School events. It is an awesome place to send your children so they can learn about Jesus.
