CORNERSTONE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH AND RACIAL RECONCILIATION
Cornerstone United Methodist Church is a
congregation dedicated to racial reconciliation through the power of the risen
Lord Jesus. We intentionally pursue racial reconciliation based on biblical
principles. If we end up being just a "white" church or a "black" church we will
have failed to be faithful to the ministry God has given us. We believe that we
are called to be a multi-racial congregation because:
A. The Church in heaven is multi-racial: Revelation 7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.
B. Racial unity authenticates our witness: Jesus prayed in John 17:21, "That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."
C. Christ died and rose again to reconcile us to God and to one another: Ephesians 2:13-16 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,... His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
