Comfort Dog

Cornerstone Lutheran Church in Central Indiana is an Affiliate in the K9 Comfort Dog Ministry of Lutheran Church Charities (LCC). The K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry is a national human-care ministry that embraces the unique, calming nature and skills of purebred Golden Retrievers to interact with people of all ages and circumstances who are suffering and in need. Comfort Dogs serve every day in their community and are also deployed in times of disaster and crisis to bring comfort to all those affected, including first responders and the volunteers who serve them.

Women's Bible Studies

In today’s world of chaos and corruption, kids need a place to find shelter. Refuge is a midweek opportunity for CLC students in grades 7-12 and their friends. Refuge is a place where youth can find connection with one another and true refuge in God’s love. These Wednesday evenings will include games, worship music, Bible Study, small group discussion, snacks, and social time.

Refuge meets on different Wednesdays from 6:30-8 PM at both our Carmel & Fishers sites. One week it’s at Carmel in the Student Center, the next it’s at Fishers in the Gathering Area. To get the specific location schedule, reach out to Amy Bultemeier (abultemeier@cornerstonelutheran.church).
