History
Cornerstone Baptist church was founded by Pastor Jim Bickel, a church-planter from Bob Jones University. Pastor Bickel moved to Uncasville, Connecticut in March 1980 and began services on April 27, 1980.

The church began meeting in the Mohegan elementary school in Uncasville and later spent some time meeting in an auto body shop that had a chapel. In 1986 the church purchased the property where the present church building is now located.

The present church building was, prior to this time, a chicken coop in need of much renovation. With the help of Mr. Paul Whitfield and the "Men for Missions" ministry, the church people renovated the chicken coop and transformed it into a place of worship and service for the Lord.

After 14 years of faithful service as pastor of Cornerstone, Pastor Bickel felt led to move on to another ministry. In August of 1994, the church called Pastor Mike Jones to be their pastor. Pastor Jones moved his family from Greenville, SC to Uncasville, Connecticut and became the pastor on September 1, 1994. The renovation of different parts of the church building continues and in March 1998, a parsonage was built on the church property.
