A Place to Belong and Build Something Beautiful
If you're someone who is passionate about building a Christ-centered, multi-ethnic community and loves the energy that comes from being near a big city without actually living in one, then Cornerstone Church in Lansing, Illinois might just feel like home.
Tucked just south of Chicago, Lansing blends the best of both worlds: small-town friendliness with big-city access. You’ll find taco trucks, soul food, and Polish delis all within a few blocks of each other, and the church reflects that same cultural richness. The congregation is intentionally multi-ethnic and is looking for a pastor who thrives in diversity, values deep relationships, and is energized by leading people toward unity in Christ.
Cornerstone is a church that loves the Bible, loves people, and is eager for its next chapter. They’ve recently updated their sanctuary tech, baptized adults, teens, and kids, and seen lives genuinely transformed. They’re ready for a leader who can bring vision, mentor future leaders, and connect with young families and seasoned saints alike.
This isn’t a mega-church gig. It's a meaningful one. The congregation is about 90 on a Sunday morning, with lots of heart and potential. If you’re the kind of pastor who enjoys being hands-on, values collaboration, and can preach the Word in a way that’s both deep and relatable, then this is your kind of church.
Plus, there's a parsonage across the street. You can literally walk to work, wave to the neighbors, and invest deeply in a place where people know your name.
Ready to shepherd a church that mirrors the Kingdom’s diversity and is serious about making disciples? Cornerstone Church is ready for you.
