Partnerships and Affiliations

At Cornerstone we recognise the importance of partnering together with other churches and organisations that share our beliefs.

The Cornerstone Collective is a communion of churches partnering together in the gospel to advance the mission of God across Merseyside.

The Cornerstone Collective was established in 2018 and is an expression of the partnership between local churches who share the same theological convictions, philosophy of ministry and earnest desire to see Merseyside won for Jesus.

Merseyside has around 1.3 million people living in it, with less than 2% currently attending evangelical churches and many areas and community hubs with very little or even no gospel influence. We want to see that change. 

Since partnering together we've been able to see 3 churches planted. Liberti Church Lark Lane in 2017, Rooted Church South Wirral in 2019 and Hope Church Kensington.

Crosslands aims to provide excellent in-context theological training and resources for churches and church leaders in the UK, Europe and 10:40 window.

The Crosslands modules are designed for motivated church members, small group leaders, small groups, interns and elders of churches in and around Merseyside. If you want to understand how the Bible affects your heart change in the context of community and mission, and to develop a 'gospel instinct' for everyday life, then the Merseyside Crosslands Foundation Course is for you. 

Studying alongside others from churches around Merseyside, the course is flexibly designed to be studied alongside the commitments of daily life, whether an hour or two or up to a full day per week, without sacrificing rigour or theological depth.

Visit the Merseyside Crosslands Learning Site for more information and to sign up.
