Cornerstone United Methodist Church is a community that cares for, accepts, and inspires people to grow in faith and become disciples of Jesus Christ.
The vision of Cornerstone is to see people saved, healed, set free, discipled, empowered, serving, and making disciples.
On Pentecost in 2013, two long-standing United Methodist churches (May Avenue and Ridgecrest) merged to become Cornerstone. Cornerstone is part of the Heartland District of The Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church.
