OUR ANSWERS to your questions


A Brief History

Cornerstone Baptist Church held its first service in September of 2001 with 15 people present.  God has marvelously blessed us over the years, allowing us grow in numbers and to construct our present building which we moved into in April of 2008.  By December of 2011 we were debt free and today have plans already drawn up for a future expansion.  With dozens of family units in our church, you will find a great variety of people of all ages to get to know and fellowship with.

A Brief Summary of Our Beliefs

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and thus complete and without error.  God exists as a trinity; Jesus Christ is both true God and fully man; the Holy Spirit is a Person equal to the Father and Son.  Man was created by God, fell into sin, and is unable to redeem himself from his lost condition.  The shed blood of Jesus Christ provides the only basis for salvation for all who believe and receive Him as Savior.  The local church is God's primary place for fellowship and ministry of the gospel today.  Jesus Christ is coming back at any moment to receive believers into heaven and later to return to earth with them to set up His millennial kingdom.  (A full statement of our beliefs is available for the asking.)

A Brief Listing of our Associations

Our church, while a completely autonomous entity, has chosen to fellowship with the Minnesota Association of Regular Baptist Churches (www.marbc.org) and on a national level the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (www.garbc.org).  We financially support missionaries around the world through Baptist Mid Missions (www.bmm.org), Baptist World Mission (www.baptistworldmission.org), and Mission Aviation Fellowship (www.maf.org).

OUR SERVICES

Sunday Morning Worship

Our service begins at 9:30 AM but feel free to come early for a cup of coffee and sweet snack.  In our service we typically sing hymns and newer choruses, memorize Scripture together, are blessed by testimonies and special music, and spending time together in the Word of God through expository preaching. There is a Children's Church program for the younger kids during the morning service during the preaching time.  

Sunday School

During our  Sunday School time, we will be walking through the "Deconstruction of Christianity".  A deep dive into how apostacy creeps into our churches and strives to remove Biblical authority.   Please come and search the Scriptures with us as we seek to glorify God in all that we do.  Classes are available for all ages. 

OUR PASTOR


Pastor Devin & Jenny Larsen

Pastor Devin and Jenny moved to Montevideo in September 2024.  They  met at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, IA, and were married in 1992.  They have 5 children and 5 grandchildren.  They have served together in church for over 30 years.  Pastor Devin was previously the Associate pastor in Austin, MN at Grace Baptist Church.  He has love for studying and preaching God's Word and directing people towards the Savior. He loves teens and strives to make connections with them and their families.  Pastor has a burden for the community of Montevideo and it's residents.  He is looking forward to meeting many of you in our community.  

OUR MESSAGE


We often talk of the three 'R's' of education: reading, (w)riting, and (a)rithmetic.  Our basic message of salvation can also be boiled down to three 'R's': Recognizing, Repenting, and Receiving.  Scripture teaches that we must recognize or acknowledge the fact that we are born sinners and because of that sin, make it impossible to save ourselves from eternal condemnation.  No amount of righteous deeds or religious rituals will pay the price for our sins. (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23)  In repenting, we are confessing our sins and need of a Savior, turning from those sins to Jesus Christ, who paid sin's penalty on the cross for us.  (Romans 5:8)  By faith, we receive the Lord Jesus Christ into our lives, calling upon Him to forgive us, to cleanse us and to save us for all eternity.  (Romans 10:9-10, 13)  If you have any questions about these 3 'R's' or God's wonderful gift of salvation, please contact us.  We would love to show you from His word how heaven can be yours simply for the asking.
