Kornerstone is an agency dedicated to Christian ministry. The board and staff members are unified by a vision of serving God through service to children and families. Our vision for ministry includes a dedication to high moral standards for quality of service and high standards for professional expertise.

All parts of Kornerstone’s program are intended to directly or indirectly support the foster and adoptive parents so that they will have the resources to help the children heal and rebuild their lives.
