Francis Chan Leaving Cornerstone Church

UPDATE: For more from Chan on his transition out of Cornerstone Church please see Justin Taylor's post that includes the video of Chan talking to his congregation last Sunday and the letter he wrote them explaining his new direction in ministry.

Francis Chan is stepping down as senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California. He explains his decision in the video below, but admits he doesn't yet know exactly where God is calling him next. We would do well to pray for the Chans and for the thousands of people who attend Cornerstone. Like so many areas around the world, southern California is in desperate need of the gospel and for gospel-centered churches. We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for the next chapter of ministry in both Chan's life and the life of Cornerstone.

Mike Pohlman (Ph.D. Candidate, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is an editor with The Gospel Coalition and senior pastor of Immanuel Bible Church in Bellingham, WA.
