Our Initiatives
Jobs for Life
Nothing attacks dignity like a lack of work. The suffering and consequences of unemployment and underemployment are pervasive and tear at the fabric of our community. Our Jobs for Life initiative faces this problem head on by training adults for success in the workplace.

Faith and Finances
Regardless of your socioeconomic status, poor spending habits can keep an individual trapped in a vicious cycle of financial crisis. But we serve a God who came to redeem us and make all things new, even our relationship with money. CornerStone’s Faith and Finances 12-week course lays the foundation for good financial literacy by discussing money in the context of relationships, attitudes, values, and obstacles. Applications open in May of 2026.

Amplify
Amplify exists for alumni of Jobs for Life or Faith and Finances who would like to continue being encouraged through long-term mentoring. Amplify “turns up the volume” of the good that began in class and encourages participants to continue to grow in every area of their lives.
Our trained mentors walk participants through H.E.A.R.T. goal setting—Home and Health, Employment and Education, Attitude (Emotional and Spiritual health), Resources (Financial), and Team (Support Network) for up to a year. Participants will meet in a small group and in a one-on-one session with their mentor each month. Alumni who wish to participate in Amplify can apply by speaking to Tony Akers, Director of Ministry Initiatives.
MEND
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 You may feel broken but you can mend! MEND is a 12-week trauma recovery and soul care course for CornerStone alumni. Participants are given a safe space to share vulnerably while being equipped with tools, spiritual practices, and evidence-based resources during each session. Sessions occur in a small group with Amy Talton, Director of Community Care. To apply to be a participant in MEND, go HERE.
