Cornerstone Bible Chapel is an open brethren assembly in Rochester, Monroe Co., [[New York]] that was founded in 1916 as a result of evangelistic efforts by Harold Harper and John Bramhall. They met initially on St. Paul Boulevard, then by 1927 into a building on the corner of Carter & Herald Sts., then known as Carter Street Chapel (+1927+) and Carter Street Assembly Hall (+1936-1950+).
At least two assemblies have hived off of this assembly: [[Northgate Bible Chapel, Rochester, NY|Northgate Bible Chapel]] in 1965, and [[Crossroads Bible Fellowship, Rochester, NY|Crossroads Bible Fellowship]] in 1996.
[[Frost Avenue Gospel Hall, Rochester, NY|Frost Avenue Gospel Hall]] was the earliest open assembly in the area, active as early as 1887-1950. The exclusive brethren pre-dated the opens back to at least 1878, see history on their [[Rochester Meeting Room, NY|TW]], [[Rochester Assembly, NY|Grant-Booth]] and [[Bible Truth Hall, Rochester, NY|Grant-Open]] meetings, the latter of which may have absorbed into other open assemblies after 1941.
