The Church of Christ the Cornerstone is an ecumenical church located in central Milton Keynes that serves five Christian denominations with a distinctive tall tower visible from many parts of the city. The building contains multiple chapels, meeting rooms, and a working cafe where visitors can find refreshment during their visit.
The church was founded in 1979 when congregations first gathered in Middleton Hall before occupying several temporary spaces during the planning phase. The building was completed in 1991 and has served the local community as an ecumenical center ever since.
The church brings together five Christian denominations in a shared space, embodying an ecumenical vision that unites Baptists, Anglicans, Methodists, Catholics, and members of the United Reformed Church. This collaborative approach shapes how worship happens here and how the community gathers together.
The church is open daily and welcomes visitors to explore its multiple chapels and meeting spaces at a relaxed pace. A cafe operates during weekday mornings and midday hours, making it convenient to spend time here before or after visiting other parts of central Milton Keynes.
The organ came from the Royal College of Organists in Kensington and was brought to Milton Keynes in 1991, where it continues to play today. This historic instrument carries music and memory from across England into the heart of the modern city.
