Throughout the Bible there is this repeated image of Jesus Christ being described as a cornerstone in a building. 1 Peter 2:6 is one of these places and it says, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." Jesus Christ has been chosen by God to be the Savior and the foundation of our lives. At St. Paul's Bible Church we want our mission, vision and life's work to be centered around the precious cornerstone of Jesus Christ.
