Raising new leaders through our Ministry Development Scheme and other initiatives is essential to Sustain and support existing and future growth.

Tots and Toys has been a really positive part of my week as a mum. It's become a regular part of our routine that both the kids and I look forward to. It's also the kind of place where it doesn't matter if you're tired, or not quite on form - you can just turn up? have a cup of tea and some cake, and feel at ease. It's a good space to connect with others at a similar stage of life, and to share a bit of the reality of parenting - the good and the hard. It's easy to invite f riends alongtr as it's a welcomrng environment and it'5 clear that new people are noticed and spoken to." Regular Tots 8 Toys attendee •• **

Over time. they encountered Jesus for themselves, came to faith, and have since gone on to thrive at university growing in conf idence, conviction, and love for the Lord. It's been a delight to see them now exploring opportunities •ll for church internships, while serving in the youth ministry at their university church. It's a joy to see them wanting to serve and invest in others as they've been invested in.

Achievements & performance ii Gathering Students Student ministry has changed a lot in the last year at Cornerstone. This year the group which used to meet in the evening made the switch to a lunchtime Bible study responding to current trends among Gen Z indicating les5 appetite for evening mèeting5. The newly named Student Bibbe Study regularly gets over 40 students f rom an increasingly diverse pool, and we continue to think through how we disciple and witness to our next generation of One of the ways wè achievè this is through our students well.

On a typical Sunday in 2025 we Saw on average 850 people gather across our three services and estimate that there are around 2,000 adults and children who are part of the church. It's been encouraging to see this average number increase over this year but our aim is not just for numerical growth but also for ongoing growth in spiritual depth and maturity.

Grièf Gathering Attendèe Internship Scheme Our internship remains a wonderful way to offer practical and theological training, a5 well as spiritual formation, to a small team who get to play a key part in various ministries across our church. As a church we also get to benefit hugely f rom having a team of interns who support our regular ministries. This year we are enjoying having 5 interns who. between them, support children's and youth ministry, home and international student ministry. They also support midweek ministries such as Women of the Word, Learn English and School Holiday Lunch Club, as well as helping us meet our commitment to support the work of CrossTeach in schools. One member of the leadership team who visited one of the sessions observed that thè "warm welcoming environment created by the team was conducive to people opening up - which was hea￿Y but quite bèautiful., The dedlcated team who ran this f irst course have committed to running it again in 2026.
