My family of 4 moved here in 2004, found our new house and found our new church which was going to…read morebe a struggle since we loved the one so very much that we were part of in Sacramento. We came in "comparing" churches and not really listening to God, at first. We loved Cornerstone. Since then we have now become a family of 5. We love the worship, we love the teachings and all of the various small groups. IF you don't get involved, IF you just sit and watch everyone else, you will stunt your Christian walk. We just celebrated 21 years of being in Arizona, our home AND Cornerstone. We become as active in all of the volunteer activities as we can. We don't love Cornerstone because it is a "Mega" church; we love Cornerstone because it is many churches within a "Mega" church for all ages. Grateful that we listened to God. Just sayin'. :) Cindy, Frank, Heather, Faith & Charlotte Watson

I don't make it every single Sunday like I used to, but I'm working on getting back into the routine. Even when I'm not in the building, I tune into the podcast--so technically, I'm still there! There's plenty of onsite parking and lots of programs to get involved in. The atmosphere is super friendly and welcoming, but what I love most is the diversity of the congregation. Come as you are--no judgment zone.

They give you hard biblical truths and make the Bible more relevant and digestible. I love that they have a college and are focusing on growing a generation to advocate social justice. I love that they don't rest on only worrying about their congregation but instead are world focused. Palmers background of growing up in Africa ensures that the Grove never views the world as "Gilbert AZ." The chairs don't match! It's one of my favorite things. It say, "Come as you are!" The setup of the worship house is intimate and welcoming. The worship is out of this world. Josh Havens, Andrea Hughes and Katie are phenomenal! But most of all, I like that they preach that no church or pastor should be your salvation. They focus on helping everyone get and grow an individual relationship with Christ! Churc I thank God for the Grove, the staff and Celebrate Recovery. Highly recommend!

I visited a few other churches was well but Grace just felt at home. It's a bigger church and the services are held in a pretty big two level auditorium. However, the staff and volunteers were really welcoming without being too pushy. The sunday service is lively without trying to hard to make worship feel like some sort of concert. Plus Lead Pastor Des Wadsworth is great speaker. Definitely a good church if you're looking for a mainline Evangelical Christian church.

This church has been an incredible blessing for our family. From the moment we walked in, we felt…read moregenuinely welcomed, not just greeted, but truly cared for. The community here is strong, authentic, and full of people who are kind, encouraging, and focused on living out their faith. What stands out most is the teaching. The sermons are rooted in the Gospel, biblically sound, practical, and easy to apply to everyday life. You can tell the leadership genuinely cares about helping people grow spiritually rather than just putting on a service. The atmosphere is uplifting without feeling fake or overly polished. There's a real sense of humility, purpose, and love for God and people. The children's programs are also fantastic, and it's clear they invest heavily in families and the next generation. If you're looking for a church with solid Gospel teaching, meaningful community, and a welcoming environment, I highly recommend visiting. We're very thankful we found this place.
