Pastors Tim Lubinus and Paul Sabino from the Cornerstone Church network share the story of Cornerstone, the Salt Company, their method for reaching students and raising up leaders, and their big dream to continue planting churches that plant churches, in order to advance the gospel.

Participants:

Chase Abner (Collegiate Evangelism Strategist – Illinois Baptist State Association)
Tim Lubinus (Executive Director/Treasurer – Baptist Convention of Iowa)
Paul Sabino (Lead Pastor – Candeo Church – Cedar Falls, IA)

Key Points:

Cornerstone Church began as an on-campus college ministry which then planted a community church in 1994 with 200 students and 23 families. They currently reach over 2000 people weekly.
By identifying strategic cities based on demographic data, and partnering with a seminary to provide formal training on-site, Cornerstone has been able to plant 6 new churches in their region in the last decade.
