Cornerstone Church launches new Enterprise Hub in Derry for City Wide Use

Cornerstone City Church has announced the launch of its new enterprise hub for use to the local community and beyond. 

The Derry based church is widening its doors to offer its many varied spaces for events, meetings and conferences, as well as operating a new hot desking facility.

All proceeds from the room rentals and hot desking will be poured back into the church and contribute to supporting and expanding initiatives such as the Hope Centre, a compassion led service through which Cornerstone City Church runs a food bank, clothing bank, pregnancy support service, budgeting and finance courses and more. 

John Loughery, a member of the leadership team at Cornerstone City Church and The Hope Centre said: “The Hope Centre was first launched back in November 2019 with a vision of demonstrating biblical compassion to those from across our city who are in need. This is now something that is completely intertwined through every aspect of Cornerstone. 

"We’re a city focused church which means we aren’t interested in having all this space just for our benefit but instead we want to offer it out to the city for wider use.

"This is also why we want to use any donations that come from the room rental and hot desking to go back into supporting a variety of our services and initiatives here at Cornerstone, such as The Hope Centre, that exist with the purpose of serving the city. 

"The available spaces come in a range of sizes that are perfect for a variety of purposes including conferences, corporate events and meetings, fitness classes and more. If you’re interested in hearing more or would like to come and see the spaces please just get in touch. Our team would be more than happy to help and answer all your questions.”

All of the available rooms come complete with audio and visual multimedia facilities and there are a range of catering packages available upon request. The new hot desking spaces also offer breakout areas for collaboration, dedicated and private video call rooms as well as coworking memberships for regular access. 

The Hope Centre is open every Wednesday from 11.00am to 1.30pm for anyone to drop in for help. There they can avail of Cornerstone’s food bank, clothing bank, social supermarket, pregnancy support service and more.
