What We Believe

As a member of the Assemblies of God, Cstone Church accepts and believes in 16 doctrines, or principals, as a standard to reach, preach and teach the Body of Christ. These doctrines are also known as our Statement of Fundamental Truths.

The above video will give new members a quick rundown of what those truths are. For more information on each, you can visit this link for a more in-depth view of the 16 fundamental truths that our faith is built upon.

We believe and teach Whole Church / Whole Family / Whole Community concepts as we work together to demonstrate life based in a relationship with Christ. As our Lead Pastor Jake Korkian would say: “Real People, with Real Issues, serving a Real God”

Focusing on our local community, Cstone Church functions to work as a beacon of hope, faith, truth and love to the people of Eastern North Carolina.

Our goal is to listen, pray, and above all else, provide a loving community to the whole church, the whole Body of Christ.

Leadership and Ministry Staff

Pastor Jake & Jessica Korkian

Lead Pastors Jake and Jessica Korkian have been the pastors at Cstone Church since February 23rd, 2020. They bring in almost three decades of experience, ranging from youth leadership, women’s ministry, and local outreach.

After serving in the military for over 25 years, Pastor Jake began to feel the Lord impress on his spirit that full time ministry was his true calling. Using the leadership and communication skills developed over two decades in the United States Marines, Jake has made it his mission to reach, teach, and develop ambassadors for the Body of Christ.

As a wife and mother of four, Jessica has devoted her life to serving our Cstone family in numerous roles, including women’s ministry, marriage counseling, and sometimes rolling her sleeves up to help in community outreach.

Jake and Jessica are a true testament that with faith in God and perseverance, life can truly be rich in happiness, blessings, and emotional fulfillment. In addition to church leadership, they enjoy spending time with their four children and four grandchildren.
