about us
Our mission is to teach people to trust, obey, and pursue Jesus in every aspect of life. At Cornerstone Miami, you will find Bible teaching that is relevant, powerful and authentic to what God’s Word says. Our messages aim to help people grow in their knowledge of God and apply what God says to their every day lives.
We started in a living room,
and we've been growing ever since
OUR HISTORY
Our church began as a small group of Christ-loving people led by Dave Lopez and Alex Fagundo, meeting in Alex’s living room in June of 2016. In a few short months during the summer of 2016, the church outgrew the home setting. We moved and officially launched in September of 2016 at Florida Christian School.
​
As we grew, a year later, we moved into the Miami Temple SDA, and in October 2019, we moved to the Miami Elks Lodge. On October 3rd, 2021, we moved to our new, current location, at Cornerstone Christian Church (yes, they have the same name as us!) in the heart of Horse Country at 5400 SW 122 Ave. Miami, FL 33175.
​
Our church is still growing, but it is, and will always be, intimate. People are not counted as numbers, but as relationships. It is our desire to grow together as a family in Christ. God’s desire for us is to love one another, help each other carry our burdens, and to challenge each other to grow closer to Jesus.
​
Our church is led by a bi-vocational leadership team of men and women who live in the real world, work in the real world, yet serve God’s people because of a desire to see lives transformed.
TEACHING PEOPLE TO TRUST AND OBEY JESUS IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE
We are passionate about the Bible and teaching people how to read and understand it well. That's why we have created several resources to help people grow spiritually:

DENOMINATION
Cornerstone Miami Church is a non-denominational congregation rooted in historic, conservative Christian and evangelical beliefs. While we are independently governed, our theology and ministry philosophy are closely aligned with Southern Baptist and other like-minded evangelical ministries.
We actively partner with cooperative ministries and networks such as the Florida Baptist Convention Church Planting, the North American Mission Board (Church Planting), the International Mission Board (IMB), Disaster Relief efforts, and other gospel-centered initiatives. These partnerships allow us to join in Kingdom work locally and globally without being politically affiliated with any denomination.
