The Gospel of Mark: Following Jesus

Join us as we work through Mark’s fast-paced Gospel — the story of Jesus the Servant King who came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

A Word from Our Pastor

Rooted in the Word,
Committed to the City

For over 80 years, Cornerstone Baptist has been an anchor of expository preaching and genuine Christian community in Nashville. We believe the Bible is not merely a book — it is the living, breathing Word of the living God. Every Sunday, we open it together and let it speak.

Whether you are a lifelong believer or someone just beginning to ask questions, you are welcome at Cornerstone. Come as you are. Leave transformed.
