Our Story

A group of families seeking strong Bible teaching formed what was then known as the Independent Brethren Church of Glendora.

Men from the church mined rock quarries in the mountains above Glendora’s citrus farms and brought down the large stones they used to build our main building. In August 1931, the church held its first formal meeting there.

For more than two decades the church thrived, with a powerful ministry to families in the Glendora community.

Now known as Bible Brethren Church, the church called Ken Churchill as Senior Pastor. Led by the Holy Spirit, he introduced elder leadership as the church’s primary form of governance, a structure that has served us well ever since.

Dr. Don Shoff accepted the call to become pastor and faithfully served through clear, sound Bible teaching. In the late 1980s, the congregation approved a new name: Cornerstone Bible Church.

God continues to bless Cornerstone with growth and expanding ministries, led by our elders, pastors and a dedicated staff committed to the faithful teaching of God’s Word and our vision of Loving God & Others Well.
