Cornerstone Bible Church

What Cornerstone Bible Church does

Cornerstone Bible Church (CBC) is an independent, non-profit Protestant congregation headquartered at 720 Liberty Dr. in Westfield, Indiana, formerly known as Centennial Bible Church. It conducts three Sunday worship services (8:00am, 9:30am, 11:00am) with Bible-based expository preaching, music worship, and concurrent Sunday School, and supplements in-person attendance with a YouTube livestream of the 9:30am service. The church's mission is "to make more and better disciples of Jesus Christ," operationalized through a broad, age-segmented ministry portfolio spanning early childhood through adult programming.

The ministry portfolio includes Cornerstone Preschool (ages 2-5 with classes, Mom's Day Out, and a 5+ program), Cornerstone Kids Ministry (birth through 5th grade with Sunday School, VBS, and the Warriors midweek program), Cornerstone Student Ministries/CSM (6th-12th grade), Anchored (post-high school young adults), and dedicated Men's, Women's, and Adult Ministries. Supporting programs include Home Fellowship Groups meeting in homes across Hamilton County, Prayer Ministry with daily text prayer updates, Evangelism Ministry, Worship & Production, and a global Missions Ministry partnering with missionaries and church plants in Uganda, Haiti, Nicaragua, Peru, Kenya, Spain, and Miami. Mulch for Missions serves as the principal annual fundraiser, selling and delivering mulch in Westfield and Carmel.

The church's underlying technology stack is built entirely on commodity third-party platforms: Church Center for registrations, events, giving, and people management; YouTube for livestream and sermon archive; Spotify for worship setlists; SignUp.com for volunteer coordination; JotForm/Captivated for text-update signups; and Google Maps for directions. No proprietary technology systems or APIs were identified. Revenue is generated primarily through congregational giving, supplemented by preschool tuition, fees for specific events and programs (e.g., $20/person Pickleball Day, $9.50 women's study book, $35-45/yard mulch sales), and unit-priced fundraising items such as pansies. Operations are governed by a board of elders under Senior Pastor Kirk Welch, with Executive Pastor Ryan Swedberg and Associate Pastor Blake Gillen, and a broader staff of approximately 13 across ministry director, administrative, and facilities roles.
