Senior Pastor Andy Kvernen with Cornerstone Community Church in Marshfield, Wis. touches on the congregation’s capital campaign with CIF and a phased approach for its $3.6 million project that will begin in the spring of 2025. More room was needed for youth ministry and offices and the church has expanded its staff. Additionally, a facelift was needed and interior improvements in what was previously the main building. It faces a primary street in this medium-sized community.
Pastor Andy said the entire process was very collaborative and the church is building generations on a foundation of faith, which is the theme of its Blueprints capital campaign.
The Cornerstone mission is to be a biblical community that loves God, grows people, serves our city and reaches the world. “If the Lord is calling you, He’ll provide. What God requires, God provides. And, if that’s the case, then there’s no pressure. You can trust Him,” Pastor Andy said. Read more about Cornerstone Church.
