Cornerstone Chapel

What Cornerstone Chapel does

Cornerstone Chapel is an independent, non-denominational evangelical Christian church headquartered at 650 Battlefield Parkway SE in Leesburg, Virginia, operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Cornerstone Chapel, Inc.) under the leadership of Senior Pastor Gary Hamrick. The organization's core function is delivering weekly worship services (three Sunday services and a Wednesday Midweek service), verse-by-verse Bible teaching, and an integrated suite of ministry programs including children's, youth, young adult, and special needs ministries, plus baptism and discipleship pathways (Christianity 101, Christianity 201, and the "I Have Decided" program). It maintains a multi-surface digital ecosystem comprising a public website, a member portal (My CC), a mobile application, and live streaming infrastructure distributed across Facebook Live, YouTube, and a dedicated Spanish-language YouTube channel, with a dedicated Online Campus Pastor managing the virtual congregation.

Beyond worship, Cornerstone Chapel operates two structured learning businesses: the Cornerstone Chapel Bible Institute (CCBI), a two-year, four-semester Bible education program offered in-person, online, and via audit at $250 per semester (or $75 per audit course), delivered through the Canvas LMS and taught by church pastors; and an ESL (English as a Second Language) program charging $40–$60 per semester depending on class frequency. The church's business model is predominantly donation-driven: the majority of operating revenue is generated through voluntary tithes and offerings collected via cash, check, credit/debit card, and ACH, processed through the Subsplash platform and accessible via the website, My CC portal, or mobile app. Community distribution occurs through Koinonia Groups (K-Groups) meeting in homes regionally and Watch Groups organized by community volunteers in multiple U.S. states and internationally (Bangladesh, Canada, Kenya, South Africa), with no employee-led structure in those remote geographies.
