Requirements
One of Cornerstone's hallmarks has been that it is a congregation that holds high God's Word and the exegetical preaching of it. We have been blessed in the past to have men that have been careful to preach God's Word accurately and passionately. We are praying fervently that God's sends another man to continue that tradition.
Cornerstone has also been blessed to have men on staff that care deeply about and desire to shepherd this flock. We pray that our next Senior Pastor will not only know us as personally as is possible within a body of 300, but will also desire to be known. While we recognize that it impossible for a Pastor of 300 to have intimate relationships with everyone, we do desire that our next Pastor will endeavor to not only "feed the sheep" , but also know them.
Yet another hallmark that Cornerstone has carried is that of sending. We thank the Lord that He has sent several young men to our staff in the last years, that were and are full of potential. It has been our joy to see these young develop under the Godly direction of an experienced Senior Pastor and leave our fellowship to find the areas of ministry that the Lord has prepared them for. We currently have two young men on staff of this caliber that will not only serve well while here, but will one day, lead well, wherever the Lord takes them. Cornerstone prays that the Lord will send a man willing to invest, encourage, challenge and direct these men of God.
The list of required skills, abilities, and experiences may be a long one if written in it's full measure. However, the ability to cast vision, administration, counseling, and caring are just a few additional skills and abilities that might be added to the qualifications found in 1 Timothy and Titus and the abilities listed above, for our next Senior Pastor.
