Cornerstone Church

For those of you who know me you’ll know me reviewing a church is somewhat comical, so I’m reviewing what they put on for the kids every year. Whether you think it’s a recruiting tool for a megachurch or not, bringing Santa and rides and things that go plunk in for kids and families without cramming fire and brimstone or asking for money is very much appreciated.
My little one got her first inner tube snow ride here, her first bus ride (which was way more appreciated than it should have been,) and got to meet some Frozen characters and drink copious amounts of hot sugar.
Santa pics were also a hit and the music they perform does get one in the mood for rum based milk beverage.
So they throw a fine free community event, the people I’ve met were nice even though I think the air of «he’s not one of us» probably oozes off of me.
That said, I know nothing about this place other than the extent that they’ve provided a couple of days of fun for my kiddo, and they did it well.

On a mission to finding the right church for me, I came across Cornerstone. I’ve now gone several times in effort to give it an honest assessment.
Overall, I have enjoyed my experience. However, each time I’ve gone, I’ve been a bit put off by Maury Davis. He says things that are very passive aggressive, sometimes sexist and tries to pull them off as a joke… except they aren’t funny. He’s made references to wishing on a woman for her to be barefoot and pregnant, beating up a dog… just to name a few. Even though he thinks he’s joking, he’s not being funny. It’s eye-​opening and alarming. I almost get a sense he has an anger management issue and although we all have our vices, his makes me uncomfortable.
Galen Davis on the other hand has delivered some really great messages. He has a special way of drawing you in and making you think by providing real life examples. He is fantastic and the main reason I kept going back.

Maury Davis, the senior pastor brutally murdered Jo Ella Liles, a 54 year-​old Sunday school teacher. After claiming a jailhouse conversion, he pursued a defense that blamed what he did on insanity, drug abuse, and the devil. Jury bought it and now the people in this church are buying it. I’m not.
With so many great churches in this area, there is no need to bother with this one.

While traveling across country we spent a few days in Nashville with some friends. They are regular attenders at this location. We were extremely happy with our experience.
Once we pulled into the parking lot there was a sign that told us to flash our headlights if it was a first time. We were directed into a first time visitor lot where a church volunteer welcomed Us and brought us the front door. Once there we were welcome again and escorted and shown the facilities.
The worship service was contemporary and intimate. The preaching was relevant and Biblical based. We were welcomed by not only the volunteers but by he people of he church… they know how to love like Christ loves… check this church out!!!

Everything I have been looking for!

Found a new home :) Thank you so much !!!
