	In ~~1997 we were still growing and were “land locked”. There was not enough land to expand the current facilities. In 1998~~ we ~~decided to move and in 1999 purchased the land~~ for our ~~current location on Tom Ginnever~~. There was a hitch. To afford the new land and building we would need to sell the old building. The school district wanted to buy the property but needed to take possession in time to remodel and open the upcoming school year leaving us no building to meet in. As part of the sale the school district allowed us to use the North High School Auditorium for our church services and Sunday school. This was to be a temporary short term location. However due to construction delays took almost a year. First service held on April 22, 2001 followed by consecration on September 9, 2001 church name changed to Cornerstone UMC.

However due to construction delays took almost a year.

			Ground was broken in 2000 and construction began. There were several delays at various stages but as a church, we were anxious to be back in a building we could call our own. The new building was designed to be flexible in purpose. There was additional office space as well as space for a library.

			First service held on April 22, 2001 followed by consecration on September 9, 2001 church name changed to Cornerstone UMC.
	In 2019 we completed an addition to the building adding space for meetings, and expanding the Narthex to include the Zumwalt Café.		In 2019 we completed an addition to the building adding space for meetings, and expanding the Narthex to include the Zumwalt Café.
