Our Story

*SHOP  HISTORY – The Cornerstone Shop began on the front porch of Ruth Meckstroh’s Jefferson Street home, in New Bremen, Ohio, during the summer of 1977. The second owner, Carol Dick, moved the business to downtown New Bremen in 1984, and then to the Amsterdam Center in 1990. The current owner, Angie Topp, purchased the store in 1997 and expanded the business in 2015. From the start, The Cornerstone Shop has provided the surrounding communities with a place to find Christian books, gifts and home decor.
