Cornerstone at the Mercer County Fairgrounds

Mission

To strengthen the spiritual foundation of Mercer County residents and visitors by providing a venue that enhances collaboration and partnership among all local churches and the community by providing an idyllic space for worship, spiritual events and celebrations.

Building Size and Layout

Reflection Area (28’x14′): This space will be separate and secluded to offer maximum reflection time for all community members.
