Worship Pastor — Cornerstone Baptist Church, in Greensboro, North Carolina, seeks a full-time Worship Pastor.
Our Mission is “Gather, Grow, Give, Go.” We Gather together to worship God. We Grow by spending time with God, hearing His Word taught and studying it with His people.

Fellowship demonstrates love, as believers seek to help one another grow in God’s love. Ministry takes place when we give to meet people’s needs, which shows them God’s love.

Spiritual maturity is evident when Believers Gather, Grow, Give, and Go. These four activities show we are fully participating in the Gospel.
