[1] Cornerstone Church was founded in 1983 by a group of 104 believers who had gathered for fellowship in the home of Ralph and Shirley Kidd.

Gene Jackson, the District Superintendent of the Assemblies of God had attended the fellowship there and offered the use of some land he had just bought as a place for worship.

In the early 1990s, Cornerstone invited former youth minister and evangelist Maury Davis, an unlikely candidate for pastor, to lead the church.

[7] The church saw significant growth, having to add more Sunday service times to accommodate those wanting to worship.

[9] A 30,000-square-foot, three-story expansion was completed in 2015 with additional space for children and young people, Nashville's largest two-story indoor playground, updated technology, meeting rooms, and an expanded lobby and commons area, with a rock baptismal pool and cafe.
