Dear Cornerstone Family,
On behalf of the Session, I am pleased to announce the following men are unanimously recommended to you, the membership of Cornerstone, for election as church officers.
· The candidates for elder: Jason Crook, Jonathan Eby, and David Horn.
· The candidates for deacon: Al Adams, Dan Apple, Chris Holder, Matt Johnston, Eric Smith, Will Tice III, and Craig Westerbeek.
In the fall of last year, each of these men were nominated for office. Over the course of the last nine months, they have completed a rigorous officer training process, including substantial study, written examinations, oral examinations, and careful evaluation by the Session. We are grateful for the clear evidence of each candidate’s love for Jesus Christ and his church, gifting for the work of ministry, and willingness to be considered for church office.
The officer election will take place on Sunday, August 2, 2026, at 9:45 a.m. in the Chapel. In preparation for the election, we will publish an Officer Candidate Booklet next Sunday, June 21, 2026, which will include pictures, biographical information, interest in ministry, and sense of calling to office. Our hope is that this booklet will help you know these men better and prepare you to vote your conscience on August 2.
Please join us in praying for these candidates, for their families, and for our congregation as we seek the Lord’s will together.
Finally, next Sunday, June 21, you will have the privilege of sit under the ministry of my dear friend, Rev. Fred Greco. Former lawyer turned pastor, Fred and I were in seminary together at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. Fred is a faithful servant of the Lord who has pastored Christ Church (PCA) in Katy, TX, for the last twenty years.
The Lord is calling Fred to a new field of service. Several months ago, the Administrative Committee of the PCA unanimously nominated him to be the next Stated Clerk of the PCA pending approval by the 53rd General Assembly in Louisville, KY, later this month. The Stated Clerk is the highest office in our denomination. It’s an honor to have Fred bring God’s Word to us. Please make every effort to join us next week for worship.
Your servant,
