Pastor and Mrs. Courtney Lewis have come to Chicago, Illinois, to establish an independent Baptist church.  Pastor Lewis hopes to have a ministry based largely on going out to the people and bringing them to Christ.  People are looking for a church that is concerned about them and their problems, and Pastor Lewis wants Cornerstone Baptist to be the church where people can find this thoughtfulness. The Lewis family comes to Chicago from Chesterton, Indiana, where they both studied and graduated from Fairhaven Baptist College. Pastor Lewis was born and raised in the Henry Horner and LeClaire Courts projects of Chicago, and his wife is from Oceanside, California.
