MEET THE GRIMS

Connor & Erin have been married for 9 years and are proud parents of two girls, Ezra & Arie. For over a decade, they have served at Red Rocks Church in Denver, CO, leading Young Adults and the Red Rocks Internship program.
Now, they feel called to Austin to create a community for dreamers, creatives and families - anyone longing for meaning, hope, and a place to call home.
Cornerstone is a community of faith, authenticity, and beauty- a place where people can explore the message of Jesus, find their people, and step into the fullness of their future with hope and purpose. 
Connor & Erin love this city and are committed to building a community where both Austin & God feel at home—a people of faith, a story of hope, known by love.

our vision

GOD IS BUILDING A HOME.

He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what  he is building. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.

‭‭EPHESIANS‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬-‭22‬ ‭MSG‬‬

We are a people of faith, a story of hope, known by love—built on the  gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that fullness of life and every longing of the human soul finds its deepest fulfillment in Jesus.
