All Cornerstone members are welcome to the conference. However, there may be some topics that are suited for those in the leadership ministry. Please do not feel obligated to attend everything.

The conference is held at The Mercy Center, a beautiful place to connect with our Lord in St. Louis, MO. Here is a link to the website: https://mercycenterstl.org/ Please do not contact them directly about the CMC. Please contact cmc@thecornerstonescripturestudy.org with questions.

The conference is designed to be a teaching conference to learn more about the study for the upcoming year. There will be a keynote speaker who will handle the information as it pertains to the study. There are supplemental presentations about The Cornerstone or relevant topics throughout the conference.

It simplifies the process by giving you one registration option. Please ask your Branch Facilitator for assistance in registering if you are not able to go online yourself. You may also call Suzanne at 913-704-7946 with questions.
