Pastor Ron Ralph was born in Alabama in 1960 and spent most of his childhood in Alabama and Tennessee. He was born again in 1978 and a few months later was called to preach and then began  pastoring his first church in 1979. He started Cornerstone Baptist Church in 1991 where he has now served for twenty seven plus years. He has this to say to those interested in Cornerstone:

Our Lord and Saviour said, “….I will build my church…” and Paul the Apostle taught that some plant and some water but it is “…God that giveth the increase.” It has been my joy for more than twenty five years to watch God do a work in our midst. I am blessed to have a core group of people who do a better job of practicing what I preach than I do! We do not build the church, the Lord does. As I have tried to “perfect the saints” and as they help me do the “work of the ministry” we have seen God build His church! As He has blessed our efforts and expanded our ministry, we give Him all the glory; He alone is worthy!
