Missions Collections
Cornerstone Church of Aurora holds a special missions offering twice a year, during Easter and Christmas. All funds that are raised during these collection times are divided among the above organizations.
Cornerstone makes a point to give 10% of our annual income to missions each year. This way, our local body of believers can truly play a part in sharing the Gospel to the ends of the earth just as Jesus commands in Matthew 28.
