Cornerstone Outreach Center
Cornerstone Outreach Center reaches out to the needy in the greater High Plains area of the panhandle of Texas. Year after year, and every week, we watch the Lord supernaturally fill our 30,000 square foot warehouse with food to give to the unfortunate of our community; single moms, families, children, those newly out of prison, grandmoms and granddads Many of them are the working poor. They have jobs, but cannot make ends meet. They need a hand up. We are privileged to serve as His hand extended to them.
We started over 20 years ago with an initial offering of $50 and a dream… A dream to care for the most needy of our community. We located our facility and our church in the poorest zip code in Amarillo. As the ministry has grown and has been blessed of the Lord, we have come to be able to feed upwards of 27,000 people each year. And, always, accompanied by the proclamation of the gospel. Many are saved. Many are healed. Many are helped and find hope in the love of God.
