Following Christ's Walk - Leaders' Summit 2026

Our Annual Leaders’ Summit opened with a warm welcome from our Deputy Senior Pastor, Pastor Daphne Yang, as she welcomed over 400 leaders from across the seven congregations, marking the start of the Summit. In giving thanks for what the Lord has been doing in Cornerstone, she communicated to all on the progressive journey of Cornerstone, on the set milestones we have passed and the many testimonies across the different congregations, as well as the work of our Cornerstone Global Network and The Bible College of Wales.

Revival - A Part of Our DNA

Pastor Yang reminded everyone that revival is, and will always be, a part of Cornerstone’s DNA. Recounting Cornerstone’s revival experience in 1995 – a season marked by a sudden visitation of the Lord and then heaven broke open, he recounted that “our services stretched to five hours from the usual one and a half,” adding that the Presence of God was so amazing that no one complained or wanted to leave! People were encountering God and weeping in His Presence.

In those five months, God left an indelible hunger for revival; people wept and cried. Pastor Yang said, “There was no laying on of hands, no touching people. I just shared a little bit, and then suddenly the Holy Spirit came. It was like a cloud of glory arrested the church for about five months.”

God is not interested in how many people we have in the church but how many people we have that are on fire, full of oil and burning for God!

A Reminder of Cornerstone's Vision

Building upon Cornerstone’s DNA and legacy, Pastor Yang reminded everyone of the vision God has given us for Cornerstone:

A Global Vision / God has called us to a larger vision that embraces all nations that God connects us with.

Pentecostal Roots / We are people of the Holy Spirit, believing in the full manifestation of the gifts of God.

Prophetic Mandate / The church is built on the foundation of Apostles and Prophets with Jesus Christ as the Chief Cornerstone. The apostolic and prophetic gifting is what God has given to us.

Message of Zion / The upward call for Christians is to pursue and grow towards their full maturity in Christ.

Standing with Israel / The nation of Israel is the firstborn of nations, and God’s chosen people through Abraham. God has a destiny and end-time purpose for Israel.

House of Prayer for All Nations / God has called Cornerstone to be a spiritual Royal Air Force by being a House of Prayer for All Nations.

The Marks of a Cornerstone Leader

Shifting gears to something with a more personal touch, we moved to a time of Q&A based on questions the

leaders had submitted. During this segment, Pastor Yang responded to a question asked: What are the marks of

a Cornerstone Leader?

Pastor Yang pointed out that the Bible has already laid out the standard for us in Colossians 3:12-14: 1) tender mercies, 2) kindness, 3) humility, 4) meekness, 5) long-suffering, 6) bearing with one another, 7) forgiving one another, 8) putting on peace, and lastly, 9) being ruled by the peace of God in our hearts.

Concluding the Summit, everyone was challenged to embrace and embody the virtues of humility and authenticity as they continue to lead those that are entrusted to them. Sharing from his years of experience,

our senior pastor emphasised: “You love the people, you share with them your heart, you share with them your

vulnerabilities, you share with them your failures, and I can tell you this, they will love you even more and respect you even more.”

It was a joy to be able to catch up with other leaders at the Summit, to learn from one another and spur each other on as we serve the Lord in different areas of this house. Praise the Lord!
