Renowned pastor and founder of Cornerstone Church, John Hagee, has reportedly announced that his son, Pastor Matt Hagee, will no longer be partnering with him in the affairs of the church. The decision follows Matt Hagee’s official launch of his own ministerial work in a newly established church.
In a statement released earlier this week, John Hagee expressed both pride and support for his son’s decision to pursue an independent path in ministry. “After years of faithful service and leadership at Cornerstone, Matt has felt called to step into a new season of ministry. We bless and support his vision as he follows God’s leading,” the senior Hagee shared.
Matt Hagee, who has served alongside his father for over a decade, played a key role in preaching, worship, and outreach efforts within Cornerstone Church. His departure marks a significant shift in the leadership dynamics of the San Antonio-based ministry, which has long been a family-led institution.
The new church, which Matt Hagee has not yet officially named in public statements, is expected to emphasize community outreach, contemporary worship, and digital evangelism. Sources close to the Hagee family describe the move as “amicable” and “long-discussed,” with both pastors believing it was the right time for Matt to launch a vision that reflects his own spiritual calling and leadership style.
Church members and followers of the Hagee ministry have expressed mixed emotions — gratitude for Matt’s years of service at Cornerstone, and excitement for the new ministry he is beginning.
As both ministries move forward independently, the Hagees have emphasized unity, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to spreading the gospel. Further details on Matt Hagee’s new church and its official launch are expected in the c
oming weeks.
