Gene Jackson, the District Superintendent of the Assemblies of God had attended the fellowship there and offered the use of some land he had just bought as a place for worship. The church received the first donation from Sister Mattie King, mother of Shirley Kidd. The first morning worship service occurred on Sunday July 10, 1983.[7] Cornerstone’s congregation increased, acquiring from Rev. Jackson the 21-acre campground which housed a small stone tabernacle, along with a church building. In the early 1990s, Cornerstone invited former youth minister and evangelist Maury Davis, an unlikely candidate for pastor, to lead the church.[8] Davis had been a familiar figure on religious programming and had gained a wide following. A few months after being invited, Davis became Cornerstone’s lead pastor.[9] The original church building on the property was destroyed by a fire, forcing an immediate move to another structure on the campus—a stone tabernacle that had been previously used for gatherings when the property served as a campground.[10] The primary church building was completed in 2002 and its construction was part of a trend of larger churches in the United States that provided offices, classrooms and multi-purpose rooms. In 2005, the Family Life Center/Gym was finished and the worship services were moved to the newly built gym at this point.[11] The church saw significant growth, having to add more Sunday service times to accommodate those wanting to worship. By the year 2000, a new sanctuary was completed; and in 2006, the Education Building added 30,000 square feet for adult education classrooms.[12] Changes and growth have continued through the years, to accommodate more people and provide additional resources for the church community.[13] A 30,000-square-foot, three-story expansion was completed in 2015 with additional space for children and young people, Nashville’s largest two-story indoor playground, updated technology, meeting rooms, and an expanded lobby and commons area, with a rock baptismal pool and cafe.[14][15] MinistriesCornerstone has a kids church program, a student ministry and a Young Adults ministry.[16] Cornerstone Church also runs women and primelife community care which provides a range of community services including counseling services, health-related services,[17][18] emergency accommodation and other courses and support programs.[19] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.wsmv.com/story/26835180/pastor-defends-giving-job-to-convicted-murderer | title=Pastor defends giving job to convicted murderer}} 2. ^{{cite web | url=http://knoxblogs.com/humphreyhill/2016/02/04/some-republicans-balks-at-resolution-honoring-la-raza-chair/ | title=Some Republicans balk at resolution honoring La Raza chair}} 3. ^{{cite web | title=Cornerstone Church in Madison, Tennessee honors America's veterans in Memorial Day weekend services | publisher=Examiner | date=31 May 2010}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/2016/01/13/tebow-speak-cornerstone-church/78752556/ | title=Tim Tebow to speak at Nashville church in February | publisher=Tennessean | date=13 January 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.cornerstonenashville.org/media/television-and-online/ | title=INFOCUS TELEVISION PROGRAM}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.churchstaffing.com/church/156843/ | title=Cornerstone Nashville}} 7. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.cornerstonenashville.org/who-we-are/history/ | title=About Us}} 8. ^{{cite web | url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/religion/2008-09-29-pulpit-protest_N.htm | title=Nashville pastors shun national pulpit protest | publisher=Usatoday.com | date=29 September 2008 | author=Bob Smietana}} 9. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.daystar.com/guest-guide/maury-davis/ | title=About Maury Davis}} 10. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.americapreachers.com/christian-news/cornerstone-churchs-latest-chapter-in-growth-is-17m-expansion/ | title=Cornerstone Church’s latest chapter in growth is $17M expansion | date=19 August 2013}} 11. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.impactsoky.tv/our-story/ | title=OUR STORY | accessdate=17 April 2016}} 12. ^{{cite web | url=http://www1.cbn.com/content/cornerstone-church-extreme-educational-makeover | title=Cornerstone Church: An Extreme Educational Makeover | publisher=CBN}} 13. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/2014/12/15/red-bicycle-coffee-crepes-open-cornerstone-church/20452731/ | title=Red Bicycle Coffee & Crepes to open at Cornerstone Church | publisher=Tennessean | date=15 December 2014 | author=Lizzy Alfs}} 14. ^{{cite web | url=http://nashvillefunforfamilies.com/cornerstone-indoor-playground/ | title=Cornerstone Indoor Playground | date=6 April 2015 | author=Lauren Breeze}} 15. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2014/07/01/cornerstone-church-planning-m-retirement-community/11904089/ | title=Cornerstone Church planning $15M retirement community | publisher=Tennessean | date=1 July 2014 | author=Getahn Ward}} 16. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.cornerstonenashville.org/ministries/ | title=Ministries}} 17. ^{{cite web | url=http://wrbl.com/2016/02/09/vaccine-for-zika-virus-being-worked-on-at-nashvilles-vanderbilt-university/ | title=Vaccine for Zika virus being worked on at Nashville’s Vanderbilt University | publisher=Wrbl.com | date=9 February 2016}} 18. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.theleafchronicle.com/story/news/local/clarksville/2016/01/09/dentists-pull-teeth-hundreds-mission-trips/78524522/ | title=Dentists pull teeth by hundreds on mission trips}} 19. ^{{cite web | url=http://wkrn.com/2015/11/01/carson-in-madison-im-just-one-of-the-folks/ | title=Carson in Madison: ‘I’m just one of the folks’ | publisher=WKRN-TV | date=2 November 2015 | author=Julie Edwards}} External links
