Dear Cornerstone Family,

In February, the elders voted to begin a new officer nomination, training, and election cycle at Cornerstone. Later that same month, we opened a nomination period for officers that lasted until Sunday, March 13. After all the nominations were collected, contacts were made to the men who were nominated along with information about officer training. After prayerfully considering the nomination and speaking with their wives (if applicable), the men chose to either accept or decline the nomination.

In this election cycle, two men, Preston Brooks and Mark Mitchell, accepted their nomination and entered training. Both of these brothers filled out the Officer Readiness Questionnaire as a first step in the process and are meeting weekly in the first phase of officer training. If you would, please remember Preston and Mark and their families as they take this journey. Ask the Lord to grow them in and through training and provide them light on the path as they seek his call.

In closing, I want to share some good news with you. At our Leadership Meeting in April, the Finance Committee presented an overview of Cornerstone’s financial health and published our 3rd quarter and fiscal year-to-date numbers. Please find the report below. As you can see, God has abundantly provided! Thanks to your faithful and cheerful giving (2 Corinthians 9:6-7), Cornerstone is in as good health financially as we’ve ever been. To God be the glory!

As we press toward the end of the fiscal year (June 30), ministry leaders and the finance committee are busy crunching numbers and making projections for next year’s budget. A strong finish to this fiscal year will go a long way in laying foundations for an expanded Cornerstone ministry in the next budget year. So, let’s keep the course, trusting God to provide all we need.
