Cornerstone Church held services for the first time in June 1983 in the home of Gene and Linda Saunders, the founding pastors. The church quickly outgrew the house. After meeting in several rented facilities around town, Cornerstone moved to its present location at 900 Adam Drive in Chillicothe, MO in December 1990.
In 1991, Pastors Gene and Linda Saunders resigned from the church. Pastors Stan and Michelle stepped in to serve as senior pastors. Stan served the church as associate pastor from September 1986 to June 1991.
The youth center was built in 1993. It has been remodeled several times over the years. The new youth auditorium was added in 2008, and the existing building was remodeled again.
