Leadership

Thanks for connecting. I hope to meet you soon. My life wasn't always the easiest. Some of those troubles life threw my way. Other troubles, I totally sought out. Just before high school graduation Jesus rescued me from a world of hurt, disappointment and destruction. Today, I am married to Corrie. We have six kids ranging from young adults to elementry age ! I love basketball; find peace outdoors; liked superheroes before they were socially cool; and constantly look for the next adventure. Let's connect! I'd love to share more about how Jesus changed my life.

Hello! I am grateful for this moment to connect with you (digitally).
From an early age, God saw my heart for serving other, my understanding of systems and love for the  local church which has lead me to a life of ministry!
Coming from a large family (11 siblings), I enjoy meeting people, sharing meals and hearing stories. I am married to Paulifred (Pauli) and together we enjoy hosting at our home in Crystal. As a Chicago native, I love trying news around the cities.
I'd love to connect and hear how God is moving in your life!

I don’t remember a time when I didn’t know who Jesus was. Raised as a pastor’s kid, I grew up in several states but became a Minnesotan when I moved to St. Paul to attend Bethel University.  I met my husband Nate there and together we’re raising five daughters, two dogs and three chickens at our home in Anoka.  The older I get, the more I realize how much there is to learn, so if I’m not leading worship or making dinner, you’ll find me reading about how to love people the way Jesus loves me. I’d love to get to know you and hear more about your story – maybe over a good cup of coffee or a 1,000 piece puzzle.

I have always had a passion for building up the next generation and coming alongside youth as they learn and grow.  I believe in a relational God who has a great sense of humor. He never leaves my side as I walk through life and has always been with me through the unknown. 
I am a born and raised Minnesotan and love spending my time outdoors. I enjoy disc golf, volleyball, and kayaking; basically, any activity that gets me moving. I married my best friend, Kate. Together we savor quiet walks, casual board games, and evenings spent with family and friends.
Everyone's story matters. Wherever you are on your journey, we all need community. From casual board games to deep talks to enjoying a good meal together, I would love to get to know you more.

Cornerstone's Board is a key part of our leadership structure. The Board provides guidance, oversight and support for the staff as they work together to pursue God's direction for our church.
