Cornerstone History Project

Introduction

Welcome to the history site for Cornerstone Church in O'Fallon, Missouri. Cornerstone has over 210 years of history. That means it was established when it was still part of the Louisiana Purchase.

This site has been created to collect information about this history. All approved users are welcome to edit and contribute. To become an approved user you will need to register. We look forward to all the contributions.

If you have any questions you can contact John Hodge at hodgehj@gmail.com or the church office at:

Meeting Notes

Agenda 26 January 2019

At this meeting we discussed;

* Discuss the project an set some expectations and goals.
** Timeline - In our discussion we did no set a defined time. 9 months to 18 months was discussed.  Time will be determined by the research required.
** How do we make this a living document that can be used for 'ministry' - We are giving this some prayerful thought.
* Discuss ground rules - Everyone has input, all bring unique talents, all opinions will be respected, debate is expected.
* Discuss contributions - We will accept information from anywhere or anyone. Acceptance does not guarantee it will be used.
* If time allows we will start on an outline. - We discussed a couple ways to do it. No decision was made. By decade (or period of time) was one discussed

A couple things to think about,

* Book Title Idea's
* Project 'focus scripture' idea's (Genesis 1:1a In the beginning)?
* Who do we want to write the forward.

It is my intention to use a wiki to collect and organize data. This has several advantages over using a "shared file" or having one person assemble pieces.

1. Everyone can see the most current information anytime.
2. Simplified formatting.  If you can type you are good. 
3. Multiple people can edit at the same time.
4. 24X7 access.
5. No special software needed. any browser will work.

I did a quick overview of how to edit and have set out instructions on how to get registered and approved to edit. I will provide a class for anyone not comfortable with using a wiki. I think you will be surprised how easy it is once you ate started.

We did not set a date for the next meeting but I am expecting it to be in March. We will have data available by then and will need to review some of the above items.

The first United Methodist Church was built near Peruque Creek.  It as a one room building as was round. This church is recorded (where?) as not being a permanent place of worhsip because Peruque Creek often flooded after a heavy rain and the creek could not be crossed.
