![]() ![]() We believe there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory that this triune God created all, upholds all and governs all Pastor Gary is an avid news “junkie” and enjoys fishing, camping, playing sports, woodworking, umpiring high school baseball, and especially spending time with his family. His radio broadcast “Cornerstone Connection” can be heard weekdays across the country in 27 states and the District of Columbia. He also serves as the Chief Chaplain for the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (the largest Sheriff’s Office in Virginia with 600 sworn deputies and 200 civilian personnel). ![]() Pastor Gary is on the Advisory Board for The Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. Pastoring in the shadow of the Nation’s Capital has allowed Pastor Gary on different occasions to meet and pray with Cabinet Secretaries, Supreme Court Justices, members of Congress, and the Israeli Ambassador. Terri volunteers as the Director of Women’s Ministry leading weekly Bible studies and prayer meetings with the women of Cornerstone. Pastor Gary has been married to Terri since 1987 and they have three grown children (who also serve in ministry) and five grandchildren. However, after his sophomore year in college, he surrendered to that calling on his life, changed schools, completed a Bachelor of Biblical Studies, and was ordained by Pastor Chuck Smith and the Calvary Chapel Association. He initially denied that calling and instead pursued a communications degree at American University with aspirations of becoming a broadcast journalist. Gary received Christ as his personal Lord and Savior when he was in high school and soon thereafter wrestled with a “call” into the ministry. Today, Cornerstone is the church home to several thousand weekly worshipers, and it is Pastor Gary’s desire to equip them through the teaching of God’s Word, relating the truth of the Bible to everyday life in practical, relevant, and often humorous ways. Then in 1991, he began pastoring Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, VA when all 18 charter members asked him to become the first pastor of this new, start-up church. Pastor Gary Hamrick has been in full-time ministry since 1987 when he first served as a youth pastor to high school teens. When you visit Cornerstone Chapel, our desire is that you see the love of Jesus Christ reflected through the systematic teaching of the Bible and through heart-felt worship of our Lord and Savior. We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is His (agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess. ![]() We are not opposed to denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to division in the Body of Christ. Therefore, every church is entirely independent.Ĭalvary Chapel is not a denomination. The ordination of ministers is also performed by the board of members of individual churches. Each church is governed by its own leadership and selects its own pastors, elders and deacons. Our affiliation with Calvary Chapel provides us with accountability and fellowship with a credible ministry while still allowing us to maintain our independent, non-denominational status. Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, CA was founded by Pastor Chuck Smith in 1965 with 25 members. In May, 1994, we became affiliated with Calvary Chapel Association of Churches. An introductory video (15-25 minutes) isfollowed by discussion and getting to know others.Details will follow.Cornerstone Chapel is a community of believers in Jesus Christ that exists to glorify God through the teaching and application of God’s Word and through personal and corporate worship, with an emphasis on equipping believers for service within the church to strengthen the body of Christ, and for service outside the church to minister the gospel of Christ.
