History

Cornerstone Historic Baptist Church was planted in Union City, Indiana in 1985. After a great deal of prayer, a number of families along with the church’s first pastor, Lloyd Shepherd, saw the need for a Bible-believing church in Union City. The first meeting was held in a store front. It was not long before the Lord provided a new meeting place for the church and services were moved to the current location at 933 North Howard Street. Pastor Lloyd Shepherd guided God’s people until December 2008, when Pastor Keith Hoover answered the call to the pastorate. After serving here 8 years, Pastor Hoover was sent out to join Bible Believer’s Historic Baptist Church in Mesick, Michigan, as their pastor.

On October 30, 2016, Pastor Jason Burton was called to pastor the church. He was ordained to the gospel ministry in 2008 by First Baptist Church of Payson, AZ, and served as the pastor of Haven Baptist Fellowship in Douglas, Arizona. He and his wife Amy have seven children, Casey, Corrie, Callie, Caleb, Christian, Clara and Cady.

Where did Pastor Jason Burton go? We were all saddened, but understanding concerning the Lord’s will for him and his family. They moved to Eastern Arizona. In the Lord’s timing, Brother Jason will be starting a church there. His burden is to reach the Mormons with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please support him and his family in prayer.

Over the years, the meeting house has undergone a number of changes, but the premise has remained the same; preaching the Word of God, teaching the doctrines of the Faith and singing hymns, psalms and spiritual songs that teach as well as edify. We strive to do all things at CHBC to the glory of God through Christ our Saviour.

On Father’s Day 2022, Mike Adams was called to pastor CHBC. He was ordained in 2000 at New Testament Baptist Church in Ravenna, Ohio. He pastored Charity Baptist Church in Kent, Ohio from 2001-2012. He married Linda in 2008 and are raising Audrey, Joey, and Elisabeth.

The folks of Cornerstone Historic Baptist Church look forward to seeing you in services!

Your Servant in Christ,

Pastor Jason Burton
