Who We AreSenior Leaders Mike and Patty Ferry
As the senior leaders, we support a wonderful group of people that cover the spectrum from new believers to emerging leaders. We have been in ministry for over 35 years and started this church in 2010. We have a heart to see people reach their full potential in the Lord and are raising up a company of people that are naturally supernatural. |
What We Believe
I. God is Good and Jesus is Perfect Theology
God's goodness is not unknowable or uncertain. God is a good father, who gives good gifts to His children. We maintain that God seeks to display extravagant love for people in every situation. Jesus is the ultimate representation of the Father and Holy Spirit. His actions and words depict the heart of God with complete authority. If we have a question about the nature of God, or how He interacts with humans, we need not look any farther than Jesus. He is perfect theology. He is both the way to God and God himself. Who better to seek?
II. Nothing is Impossible
We follow a God of miracles, both big and small. We represent a supernatural kingdom. The power of God is without limit or restriction. Jesus commanded that we heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, cleanse lepers, calm storms, feed the masses, move mountains, and make disciples of all nations. As His disciples, all we need is faith to partner with Jesus in making impossible things happen. Simply put, Jesus said, "Nothing will be impossible for you."
III. Everything Needed Was Provided On The Cross
This means everything. The finished work of the cross is not to be overlooked or discounted. When Jesus was crucified, all at once He provided atonement for all sin, offered eternal life with Him, gave us access to the Father, and to the inheritance of God, a New Covenant. Simultaneously, we were crucified with Him, are now dead to sin, and He now lives in us. The Hebrew idea of salvation also meant freedom from sickness and death, and a right to peace of heart. Every need you have has already been provided for you. Do you need forgiveness? Do you need healing? Do you need wisdom? Just ask, and it's yours because of the direct path Jesus has made for us to the Father.

Building a Lifestyle of Christ's ImageEphesians 2:19-22
“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit.” |
At Cornerstone Christian Fellowship of Redmond, Oregon, we recognize the challenges of living a Christ-like life in today’s world. On the one hand, we have our relationship with the Lord through fellowship with His Spirit and all that entails. At the same time we live in a world, that is contrary to our lifestyle. This may cause us to be exhausted, beaten down, and wounded. Despite this, we must continue to walk out our lives in front of others in a way that shows forth God’s love and character through us, giving it relevance to those around us, as well as glorifying God’s Kingdom.

REST
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and You will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” |
REFRESHING
Acts 3:19 “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” |
RESTORATION
1 Peter 5:10 “And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast.” |
TESTIMONIALS"Before I came to Cornerstone, I felt unloved, unimportant, and just a waste of space. I felt as if I could disappear and no one would miss me. But now, thanks to this church, I feel loved, cherished, and inherited a family I couldn’t live without. Also, I’ve come to know God, not as a punisher, but a Papa who loves me more dearly than I could understand! I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for this church and my new family." M.F. "This loving church IS a family with love and concern that has helped me understand the real message of the Bible, the truth of the written word, and a greater understanding of the meaning of the real word of Scripture." K.O. "Cornerstone is not your typical "sit there, listen to a word" church. If you're like me and want a church to call home, where you are encouraged to grow and stretch in a safe environment, where your connection with the Lord is the priority, then I pray you will stop by and be ready for Love, Life, Family, HOME." B.R. "I actually met Mike Ferry, the pastor of Cornerstone, long before I started attending. Occasionally we would cross paths and talk and you were off for wisdom and insight and understanding that escaped me. I was always warmly and enthusiastically wanted whenever I would come to visit Cornerstone. Before I started attending Cornerstone I had put God into several boxes, the Holy Spirit wasn’t really known to me but moreover someone who I knew existed but didn’t know how he worked or what he felt. Cornerstone invited me to come, use my God-given talents to serve at the capacity that I was comfortable with, always with room for expansion and experimentation. It’s a wonderful place for people to come and experience a safe location to try something new and be stretched while deepening and routing their foundation in biblical truth. I’ve honestly never felt more loved and encouraged." B.V. "The Lord brought me to a group of people that would show me true unconditional Christian love. I have been growing and stretching for a little over 4 years now with my Cornerstone family. I am truly blessed to know a group of people willing to do the hard work necessary to cultivate a deep relationship with the God head. Great things are in store for Cornerstone Christian Fellowship." C.L. "There are houses of worship who teach, who reach out to the community with opportunities for love and fellowship, who make God first instead of man, and some who "go their own way" with their congregations. Cornerstone Christian Fellowship executes Jesus' commandment to "love one another" to the fullest! It is a place that allowed me to grow exponentially through the leadership, wisdom, and love of Pastor Mike and Patty Ferry. My CCF family has expanded my ability to minister to others in a variety of ways through their genuine love and suspect, and without judgment. Each of us has a path to take and the respect for each person who enters our house of worship is real. It's impacting. It's all about Jesus's love first. The rest follows." A.B |
