Caution

Assessment

Downtown Cornerstone Church is an Acts 29 church plant in downtown Seattle led by Adam Sinnett, planted in 2009. Operating in the same city where Mars Hill Church collapsed in 2014, DCC represents a healthier post-Driscoll Acts 29 expression. The church is committed to gospel-centered, expository preaching, complementarian polity, and urban mission. For a man in greater Seattle seeking a complementarian church with a downtown footprint, DCC is a credible recommendation. Verify current elder board and ministry culture directly.
