God has been so good to me and my family. He has blessed me abundantly, given me a beautiful church family. I have no complaints. I just am so thankful to God that he led me there. There is a saying that goes: there is no perfect church. If it was perfect before you got there, once you entered, it no longer is. Not one of us is perfect, it's the goodness and grace of God and his hand of protection that saves us!

I have very mixed feelings about this church and about this post... I grew up in this church…read morecommunity and spent most of my life in this community. I eventually moved and explored new churches, and WAS UTTERLY SHOCKED to discover what it felt like to be in healthy church communities. You don't know what you don't know, and my experiences at other churches helped me finally understand everything that had been missing from Cornerstone. Here are my main issues: (1) It started off as a Jesus-loving church (and still very much is), but they are WAY too political. They equate scripture with political opinion and call it truth. Conservatism IS Christianity here. In my last year there, there were numerous times when they invited local conservative politicians to their service and told their fairly large congregation who to vote for. If you're political values are outside of their belief system, you will definitely feel alone and like a bad Christian. (2) Ministry: A lot of churches have this issue, but it felt especially prevalent when I was at Cornerstone. First off, important to know that EVERYONE is related to each other there. Everyone in pastoral leadership and church administration is somehow related or best friends with someone. You don't get far in leading ministry unless you have a personal connection with the Franklins and THEY trust YOU. I spent a lot of years there, and I would be surprised if they knew anything about me other than my name, even though I worked in numerous ministries, was involved in the church, and in similar spaces. The relationships between the laity and church leadership feels very disjointed. ALSO: THERE IS SO MUCH DRAMA BETWEEN EVERYONE IN MINISTRY. Hint: if you want to know about the health of a church, don't look at numbers, look at its culture and ministry. (3) Theology (how they understand the Bible and what it means): I just disagree with Cornerstone's understanding of God and Church majorly. For me, being a Christian means helping others encounter the presence of God through exemplifying love, grace, and everything in between. In my opinion, Cornerstone is very legalistic (focusing on what is "right" verses actually living that out). In one service, a couple came up to dedicate their baby and it was unclear if they were married but they were living together. Jim Franklin called them out in front of the whole congregation and told them they were living in sin, and they clarified that they were indeed married. While I agree that premarital living is not ideal, the focus of that moment should have been a moment of celebration as this couple (who may or may not have known better) decided to dedicate their baby to God. Instead, it turned into a public condemnation that felt wildly awkward and inappropriate. It turned out alright, but what if this couple had been new to Christianity and weren't married? I had a personal experience bringing my significant other to church for the first time, and because they weren't Christian, I was told BY A GREETER that I should just ditch them. They laughed and said they were kidding, but that deeply affected the way my significant other understood Christian culture. They eventually became Christian and found a home in an amazing church no thanks to Cornerstone. (4) There is just a general lack of community. You will learn people's names for sure, and you will smile and greet people during the 1-minute pause for fellowship at the beginning of Sunday Service. People CAN be nice, but it all just feels really superficial. It just felt like the typical Christian nice demeanor. Spending most of my life at this church, I never got to know anyone's story and they never asked about mine. I never prayed with my church community about their praise reports or prayer requests (like I do at my current church) and I never found roots at this church despite going almost every single Sunday. On the one hand, you could argue it is up to me to create those opportunities, which is valid. But I also think it says a LOT when a church doesn't create those opportunities systematically. Okay, I know I wrote a lot of negatives here, but I want to write a balanced review of my time here and also note some of the good. While I have major problems with Cornerstone as a church and its pastoral administration, no one can question that the people in the congregation love Jesus and do their best to serve him. Are they biblically misinformed? A lot of the time, yes. Are they very political, outspoken, and willing to fight for their beliefs, also yes. It's not a culture I want to be a part of and I have a very different approach to ministry, but no one can argue and say that these people aren't committed to God in the best way they know how to be. They're well-intentioned people, and that's all I can say about this church.

My writing this is very out of character for me; however, upon seeing some of my church's reviews,…read moreI feel compelled. First of all, I will deal with the "stars" rating I gave. I gave 4 stars because I feel there is room for improvement. Please don't mistake; most of that improvement is on ME, not the pastors or staff. How I choose to spend my time away from church is only on me. Most people complain about how Celebration talks about money. People get offended because they preach the word of God. Money is a very Important issue because it either says, "God I trust you" or "God I do not trust you". Several reviews I read state that they preach either tithe or you are going to hell! I'm sorry, but that is a lie. If they preached that I would leave quickly. Just because a person feels such condemnation, does not mean that is because of what the pastors teach. What they preach is, "if you want to be blessed, then you need to tithe." I completely agree because that is the Word. I also agree based on my own experience. When I tithe, I can't explain it, but I have more than when I do not. I could go on about this, but I won't. Next I will deal with what gets preached. They preach Jesus! Again, if they did not, then I would leave. They worship God! If they did not, then I would leave. One thing I have learned is that you cannot argue with fruit. The pastors are incredibly blessed. Their children serve and worship God in a powerful way; all of them! Their church experiences growth, and I'm astounded by how many people receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Celebration has caused me to grow so much in my 7 years of attending. I'm so thankful for this church in my town. I'm so thankful to give God His 10% knowing that I'm giving into "good ground". A place where people come to know Jesus. My favorite thing about Celebration is the youth movement. If you want the place where your kids will thrive, this church is for you. I am not on staff at Celebration. I do not even serve on the dream team. My interest is strictly to offer my experience and point of view. I should have probably used scriptures in backing up the tithe message and people getting offended, but I want to keep it as simple as I can. I am tempted to leave much detail about myself and allow anyone who wishes to either contact me or find me, but something tells me that would be a bad idea. May God richly bless you!
