Community Resilience & Innovation Center
Cornerstone Full Gospel Assembly envisions a future community-centered facility designed to strengthen families, empower young people, support senior adults, expand educational and workforce opportunities, and help Delray Beach prepare for emergencies and future challenges.
The proposed Center represents Cornerstone's commitment to combining faith, compassionate service, innovation, education, and strategic partnerships for lasting community impact.
Building hope for future generations
Communities thrive when families are supported, young people are encouraged, senior adults remain connected, residents have access to opportunity, and trusted institutions work together.
Cornerstone's vision is to create a welcoming and accessible center where spiritual support, education, youth development, workforce preparation, community services, music, technology, emergency readiness, and compassionate outreach can operate together.
A center for faith, service, learning, and resilience
The proposed Center will be designed as a flexible, multipurpose environment serving both the church and the wider community.
Designed to meet real needs
A holistic set of program areas — grounded in faith and shaped through community partnership.
Youth Development & Crime Prevention
Mentoring, leadership development, academic support, life-skills training, recreation, career exposure, and positive alternatives for young people.
Music & Creative Arts
Music, orchestra, trumpet, worship, performance, recording, and creative-arts opportunities — building discipline, confidence, teamwork, and purpose. Includes space for a future youth music initiative under development.
Education & Academic Support
Tutoring, homework assistance, literacy support, technology access, workshops, enrichment programs, and family educational resources.
Workforce & Employment Support
Résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-readiness workshops, digital-skills training, entrepreneurship education, and connections to workforce partners.
Senior Support & Social Connection
Fellowship, wellness education, technology assistance, prayer, meals, activities, and programs that reduce social isolation.
Family Strengthening
Parenting resources, relationship education, referrals, spiritual care, life-skills workshops, and connections to trusted community services.
Food & Essential-Needs Assistance
Expanded capacity to coordinate food assistance, hygiene items, school supplies, emergency support, and other approved compassionate care.
Community Health & Wellness
Space for approved health education, screenings, wellness programs, prevention resources, and partnerships with qualified healthcare organizations. Not a medical clinic unless properly licensed.
Technology & Innovation
Access to computers, digital learning, technology education, media training, entrepreneurship resources, and innovative community programs.
Emergency Preparedness & Resilience
Emergency communication, cooling support, charging stations, supply distribution, preparedness education, and coordinated community assistance during emergencies. Not an official shelter unless certified.
A flexible campus designed to serve
Conceptual components under exploration for the future facility.
All facility features remain subject to architectural review, zoning, permitting, engineering, funding, insurance requirements, accessibility standards, and governmental approval. Conceptual features are not final construction commitments.
Rooted in Delray Beach, open to the community
Services will be offered according to program capacity, eligibility requirements, funding, partnerships, staffing, safety standards, and available resources.
We cannot build this vision alone
The Center will require cooperation across the faith, public, private, educational, healthcare, philanthropic, and nonprofit sectors.
