Cornerstone Baptist Church

About this church

Cornerstone Baptist Church in Belmont is a fundamental, Bible-believing, independent Baptist church just west of Boston. Sunday begins with Bible School at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Morning Service at 10:45 a.m. and an Evening Service at 6:00 p.m. A Prayer and Bible Study meeting takes place on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The church preaches and teaches from the King James Version, and messages are posted on its YouTube channel.

The congregation traces its roots to 1846 in Cambridge, where it began as North Avenue Baptist Church. It took the Cornerstone name in 1944 and relocated to Belmont in 1980. Its stated purpose is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, lead people to a saving knowledge of Christ, and then disciple them in the Bible. The church also hosts community events such as a flea market for Belmont residents, a worldwide missions conference with visiting missionaries, and a community carol sing in December. The building is at 54 Brighton Street, about 0.6 miles down Brighton Street from Pleasant Street (Route 60), and it can be reached by MBTA bus route 78 from Harvard Square. Event dates change each year, so check the upcoming events page before planning a visit.
