Our History
In the early 1920's a group of believers were meeting in a home in Lansdowne, just outside Philadelphia in Delaware County.
They sent delegates to Wales to learn about the Apostolic Church, which has it's origins in the Great Welsh Revival of 1904. Wales was transformed by revival, and the Apostolic Church was formed after World War I.
In 1927 an Apostolic Church congregation was organized in East Lansdowne and eventually relocated to Philadelphia in 1955. A large number of members commuted from the Delaware County area and, in 1977, a new congregation was formed to serve these members.
Incorporated as Church of the Good Shepherd in 1980, Cornerstone Christian Church is affiliated with Apostolic networks around the world. We have maintained an active ministry in Delaware County and surrounding areas, and also support missions in many different countries.
