Vidalia Cornerstone Church

MAKING DISCIPLES

At Vidalia Cornerstone, we believe faith grows best in community. We offer Sunday morning classes, small groups on Wednesday nights, and special studies and events throughout the year to help you grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus. This summer, we’ve been meeting in home groups to explore a series called Christ the Cornerstone—you can find the links to each session below if you’d like to check it out. If you’re looking for a group that fits your season of life, reach out to Pastor Jose Caraballo—we’d love to help you get connected.

Wednesday Night RESTORE: Fall Small Group Studies

Come hungry—for dinner, for community, and for truth. We know that stepping into something new can feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe you’re brand new to church, returning after some time away, or just haven’t joined a group before—but you're not alone. Every one of us is on a journey, and small groups are where that journey gets personal.

This fall, we’re creating spaces where real people can ask real questions, build lasting friendships, and grow in their faith alongside brothers and sisters in Christ. Join us!

Take a look at the list of the 2ND SESSION fall studies below—each one includes a class description and a link to purchase the book, if needed, in its dropdown menu. You can register for your group HERE.

Know the Spirit Through His Names

Living Water. Helper. Lord. Many believers long for a clearer understanding of the Holy Spirit and the role He plays in our relationship with God. The good news is, when we study the Bible, the Spirit’s specific identity and work as a member of the Trinity is made clear.

In The Power of The Holy Spirit’s Names, bestselling author and pastor Dr. Tony Evans examines 12 of the Spirit’s most significant titles and what they reveal about this powerful, present, and personal expression of the triune God. As you read, you’ll gain eye-opening insights into how the Spirit moves within the hearts of believers while learning how His indwelling of you shapes your unique faith.

As we grow in our ability to love, revere, and relate to the person of the Holy Spirit, we also grow in our capacity to experience God. This book will help you internalize profound truths about the Holy Spirit’s character and transform how you understand the Trinity. Buy book HERE.
Men Only | 7 Weeks | Led by Jose Caraballo

Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, relationships, and the reason God made them men. It's into this "no man's land" that New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood: play the man.

In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven virtues of manhood. Mark shares inspiring stories of manhood, including the true story of the hero and martyr Polycarp, who first heard the voice from heaven say, "Play the man." Mark couples those stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next generation of men. This is more than a book; it's a movement of men who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest calling to be the man and the father God has destined them to be. Play the man. Make the man. Buy book HERE.

RESTORE Summer: Week 1

The Foundation of Our Identity

Scripture Focus: Ephesians 2:18–22

Discussion Questions linked in "Resources" tab below.

What defines who you are? In a world full of shifting values and mixed messages, it's easy to build our identity on things that don’t last—success, image, relationships, or achievements. But Scripture offers us something unshakable: Christ Himself as the Cornerstone.

In Week 1 of our Christ the Cornerstone series, we explore how our identity is grounded not in what we do, but in who we are in Christ. Ephesians 2:18–22 reminds us that through Jesus, we have direct access to the Father. We’re no longer outsiders—we are citizens of His Kingdom and members of His household, being built together into something holy and eternal.

This week's message and discussion guide will help us reflect on what it means to truly belong, how to re-align our lives with Christ as our foundation, and how to live out that identity in real and practical ways—both personally and in community.

RESTORE Summer: Week 2

The Foundation of Our Unity

Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 3:9-11

Discussion Questions linked in "Resources" tab below.

In week two of our Christ the Cornerstone series, we turn to 1 Corinthians 3:9–11 to explore how Jesus is not only the foundation of our faith—but the foundation of our unity. Paul reminds us that we are “God’s field, God’s building,” and that what we build together as the Church must be centered on Christ alone. This week’s discussion invites honest reflection on what threatens our unity and how we can realign our lives, relationships, and service with Jesus at the center. Whether you’re navigating conflict or longing for deeper connection in community, this study offers a compelling call to build something lasting—together.

RESTORE Summer: Week 3

The Foundation of Our Transformation

Scripture Focus: Romans 12:1-2

Discussion Questions linked in the "Resources" tab below.

In Week 3 of RESTORE Summer, we’ll explore Christ the Cornerstone: The Foundation of Our Transformation through Romans 12:1–2. This session invites us to reflect on what it means to offer our lives as living sacrifices in response to God’s mercy—and how true transformation begins with a renewed mind. We’ll discuss how Jesus, as our cornerstone, reshapes our values, thoughts, and daily decisions, challenging us to break away from worldly patterns and build our lives on His truth. Through honest conversation and practical application, we’ll consider the areas where God is currently working in us and how we can support one another in pursuing lasting spiritual growth.

RESTORE Summer: Week 4

The Foundation of Bold Faith

Scripture Focus: Acts 4: 1-13

Discussion Questions linked in "Resources" tab below.

In Acts 4:1–13, Peter and John boldly proclaim the resurrection of Jesus, even in the face of opposition. This week, we’re exploring what it means for Christ to be the cornerstone of our faith and how spiritual boldness flows from being with Him. We’ll reflect on the exclusive yet life-giving claim that salvation is found in Christ alone, and consider how to respond to cultural resistance with courage and compassion. Together, we’ll identify what competes for that cornerstone spot in our lives—and how to keep Jesus at the center.
