Someone let the serpent into the Garden of Eden.
This place WAS wonderful. And it does still have age appropriate child care, coffee BEFORE the service, extremely talented singers, musicians, soundboard crew, greeters, study groups. All together just an amazing crew of folks working tirelessly to pull off 3 services/week. A great TEAM! Then an inside group of unknown individuals decided their Lead Pastor Michael Nave (who had been with Cornerstone since atleast 2011), needed to be taken down a notch. During the apology video by Pastor Nave (I thought someone had died, it was that bad) he stated he had contributed to a toxic work environment…The speaker following the video stated the suspension was NOT due to s*xual or financial misconduct.
Well, that’s good.

Attendance down by 25-30%.
Speaker was average. Michael was extraordinary. Music is still very good, so there’s that. Spoke w/an Elder re Michael Naves absence and its effect on attendance. He states Cornerstone is a Christ Centered
church. Aren’t ALL Christian churches “Christ centered?” I drive past a slew of “Christ centered” churches from Carbondale, Cambria, Carterville, Herrin. Why would I travel all the way to Marion CornerStone? Michael Nave. I don’t care your beliefs, Michael could speak and you would hear.
Believe in a higher being or not, Cornerstone had an amazing vector to influence people to follow Christ. Emphasis on had. The “jury” is still deciding whether or not to re-instate Pastor Nave and it’s not looking good. Praying the serpent doesn’t win.
