Timeline
Hillcrest Baptist Church was born when Ridgecrest Baptist Church and its mission church, New Hope Baptist Church, combined into a new congregation.

In 2008, the congregation decided to move to the North Shore. They purchased the 805 Sherbrooke Avenue building, moved to it, and renamed the congregation "Cornerstone Baptist Church".
