I went there when it was Wesley UMC and got married there after it became Cornerstone UMC. I do miss the "building" too, but the "church" is now across the street. Something to keep in mind, a church is the congregation, not the building. Also this building was for sale for many months and you would be surprised who secretly helps pay for the tear down of an empty church building.
