Who We Are:
Cornerstone is an Evangelical Free Church located in Southwest Minnesota. We are approximately 45 minutes to Sioux Falls, SD. Pipestone is a rural town with a population of around 4,400.
Our church was planted at the end of 1999. We met in the local high school for the first twenty years but have been sharing the Christian Reformed Church building for the last three years. We are a “Simple Church” model with primarily small groups and youth group as our programs. We strive to be relationally driven verses program driven.
Our Mission is to Build Lives on Christ through these Core Values.
Our mindset is one of doing life together. We don’t go to church, we are the church. A building does not define us, Christ does. We work hard to maintain an environment where people can be real and remove masks which cover hardship, hurt and brokenness so that we can truly be built up in Jesus Christ.

We are in a unique situation in which our dearly loved Youth and Worship Pastor (Ryan Brown, age 40) unexpectedly entered heaven this past December 15th from an undiagnosed heart problem. We have been walking through grieving together as a church and with Ryan’s dear wife and three daughters. We recognize the person filling this position will have their own unique gifts and talents. Therefore, we would love to tailor the position around those gifts and talents. Ryan was our community life pastor and primarily oversaw the youth ministry, the worship ministry and a men’s ministry that included outdoor adventures, because this was his passion.
