Cornerstone Community Church

Cornerstone Community Church began back in 1992 when founding and senior pastor, Ron Armstrong, moved his family to the Temecula Valley, along with four other families, to start a different kind of church. Like most beginnings, it was an exciting and scary time. Our first service was on February 2, 1992, and we didn’t know if a single person would show up. Over 300 people came and more importantly, 200 of them came back! Our first year was spent meeting at rented facilities until we eventually acquired our current property. Over the years we built multiple buildings as hundreds more joined our family.

But soon after the completion of our newest sanctuary, tough times hit with the great recession of 2007. A short time later, personal tragedy challenged our leadership team, when Pastor Ron and his family experienced the loss of their oldest son in December of 2008.

The Armstrong family and the church family went through a season of intense grief. This was a difficult chapter, but a significant one nonetheless, telling the story of people unwilling to quit even when times were hard. God in His amazing compassion and guidance has brought both the family and the church to healing, strength and renewed vision.

Today, we are writing a new chapter. Our community is growing, our worship is blossoming, and our teaching is more relevant than it has ever been.
