Community Outreach

Back

Calvary Baptist Church of Alton

continues to live its 78 year plus (1928) heritage of going “On Mission” for Jesus!

July 1999 – After planting six “daughter” churches right here in Illinois, Cornerstone ministries is founded as Calvary’s community outreach for touching the lost and the hurting with a “cup of cold water in Jesus name”. Calvary is clearly a lighthouse that God has lifted up to point those in the middle of life’s storm, to the one and only hope for their survival. Literally thousands are reached and hundreds profess Jesus as Lord!

2006 – Cornerstone ministries takes this calling to offer family support services to those in need, outside our building and deeper into the community. “Mission Point” is “taking the church to the people” as our very first manufactured housing community greets us with open arms. A.R.C. – Enchanted Village, a community of over 500 manufactured homes, becomes our first and soon our second location for community outreach at a new level.
