Cornerstone Fellowship International UK
Charity 1172892
Overview
Summary
Cornerstone Fellowship International UK appears to operate as a Birmingham-based church with a dual role: providing congregational worship and pastoral support locally while pursuing a wider evangelistic and church-establishment mission. Its stated model combines gatherings, teaching, prayer, media and literature with use of premises for community-facing activity. The available evidence suggests a ministry organised around spiritual formation and leadership rather than a narrowly defined social-service programme, though its reported wellbeing and cohesion activity may create local civic value.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- Direct evidence confirms that the charity reports operating in Birmingham City, alongside Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton, but neither the Charity Commission record nor the organisation's current website identifies a Birmingham ward, neighbourhood, venue or service address.
- The website's reference to 'Birmingham, United Kingdom' supports a current Birmingham presence, but it is not sufficient to locate activity within the supplied ward or City Centre geography.
- The charity's registered/principal office is in Dudley, and the Charity Commission states that it does not own or lease land or property. This means the available evidence does not establish a Birmingham physical site.
- The 2025 trustees' report describes regular worship, youth, children's, prayer, Bible-study and women's activities, but the retrieved report excerpt does not state where these are delivered.
- The organisation is part of an international church network and its website describes locations internationally. This supports an international network identity, but does not demonstrate that the UK charity itself directly delivers services outside the West Midlands areas it reports to the Charity Commission.
Additional evidence needed
- A current timetable, event listing or contact response identifying the Birmingham area of regular worship services and ministry activities.
- Current venue-booking, partner-venue or host-organisation evidence confirming any Birmingham locations used for regular activities.
- A fuller current annual report or activity report that breaks down services, beneficiaries or delivery locations across Birmingham, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
- Evidence identifying whether Birmingham activity is concentrated in one neighbourhood, delivered across several neighbourhoods, or organised citywide.

Observations
A church-building model extends beyond a single congregation
The organisation appears to see its role as establishing and strengthening a wider network of New Testament churches, rather than solely serving one local worshipping community.
Why it matters
This helps explain why broadcasting, teaching and events may be central to its operating model: they can support influence, recruitment and replication beyond its Birmingham base.

Spiritual renewal appears to be the main route to wider benefit
The charity appears to frame wellbeing, pastoral care and community cohesion principally through religious participation, prayer, worship and spiritual formation.
Why it matters
This distinguishes it from organisations delivering secular wellbeing services: its community contribution may depend on the accessibility and reach of its faith-based activities.
Show evidence
“Activities include worship services, counselling on marital breakdown or bereavement, supporting followers' mental and physical health, and promoting community cohesion through activities at its premises.”
Source:Charity Commission“Reset is described as an annual prayer retreat involving prayer, fasting, solitude and worship.”
Source:Organisation
The organisation combines a local base with event-led reach
Birmingham appears to be its operational anchor, while retreats, conferences and online media may enable engagement beyond routine local services.
Why it matters
This suggests that its relationships and potential civic influence may not be bounded by one neighbourhood, even though its premises-based activity is local.
Show evidence
“The contact location is Birmingham, United Kingdom.”

Source:Organisation
- It is unclear who uses the organisation's premises and whether activities reach people beyond its congregation.
- There is no evidence of partner organisations, established daughter churches, attendance, staffing, finances or measured outcomes.
- The extent and nature of bereavement, marital-breakdown and wellbeing support are not described.
Remaining uncertainties
- Annual reports or accounts describing beneficiaries, attendance, expenditure, staffing and service outcomes.
- Details of local partnerships, premises users and community activities.
- Evidence of churches established, media audience reach and the geographic distribution of participants.
