“The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad,” is what the Cornerstone Full Gospel Church of Fairfield, Inc. has to say about celebrating twenty years of ministry.
Cornerstone Full Gospel was founded and is overseen by the Pastor and Visionary, Apostle David Ransom Sr. After hearing the voice of the Lord, the scripture Isaiah 42:6-7 led him into prayer and fasting. A short time later, he answered the call to pastor.
Apostle Ransom is dedicated to the responsibility God has given him in leading His people. His wife and Co-Pastor, First Lady Sha-Wanda Ransom, also labors with her husband and is a fine example of a helpmeet.
The word-based church was established, September 5, 1999, in Fairfield, Texas, with only eight members in his parents’ home. Shortly after that, the Lord led them to a rental home, a donated church, a sale barn converted for worship and today by God’s grace, the church facility at 303 State Highway 75 North Fairfield, Texas.
Many lives have been and continue to be transformed, for the glory of God, under the tutelage of Apostle David Ransom Sr. He is God’s messenger; he and his wife are committed to upholding the truth as they teach and preach the Word of God “until Christ be formed in you,” according to Galatians 4:19.
Also, through the advancement of technology, the ministry is able to reach a countless number of people across the world.
The theme for the 20th Anniversary was Experiencing His Glory 2 Corinthians 3:18. The celebration began with an Elegant Banquet held at the Cook Education Center Planetarium in Corsicana, Texas.
The Master of Ceremony for the night was Elder Michael Williams of Christ‘s Tabernacle of Praise Ministries (CTOP) in Corsicana, Texas. The guest speaker for the hour was Apostle Derek Cooper of Spirit of The Word Church in Houston Texas.
The church was blessed to have so many to come out and share in this special occasion. Special thanks to the Mayor of Fairfield, Texas, Mr. Kenneth and his wife, Mrs. Nicole Hughes for attending.


On Sunday was the second portion of the celebration with a 4:00 p.m. service. The Master of Ceremony was Pastor Ken Hartfield of Full Table Church in Dallas, Texas. The speaker for the hour was Apostle Jeffrey Boggas of Christ Restoration Tabernacle located in Prairie View, Texas.
To God Be the Glory for a blessed anointed time experiencing his glory!
Apostle and Co-Pastor Ransom were presented with a special ordered, custom made, crystal etched award for their dedication to the ministry from Cornerstone Full Gospel members. It’s a blessing to share in such a privilege, twenty years of ministry, knowing “this is the Lord’s doing and it’s marvelous in our eyes,” Psalms 118:23.
Throughout these twenty years that have been some challenges along the way. But, with the help of the Lord, Apostle Ransom and his wife continue to keep their faith in God, having an understanding that “Better is not good enough, but the best is yet to come.”
Thank you to all that were able to come out and celebrate with us. If by chance, you were unable to make it, thanks for your prayers.
