Who we are

Cornerstone is a lively church of all ages serving the local community of Hythe and the Waterside and is a part of the United Reformed Church in the UK.

Our Beliefs

We are a fellowship who believe in one God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the Bible as our authority. We believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again for us and that the Holy Spirit is at work on earth so that everyone who through faith asks for forgiveness will receive it. Those who do will have eternal life with God.

Our Leadership

The church is led by our team of Elders. The role of Minister has been vacant for over four years, but we are now in the process of seeking a new Minister. There are currently 9 elders including the Church Secretary and Treasurer. Some of the elders are also Ministry leaders.
