Cornerstone staff

 

MEET OUR TEAM!

If you have questions for our staff, feel free to reach out via e-mail or call our offices to speak with us.

Randy O’Brien

Interim pastor | E-mail

Randy and Moe have been married for 43 wonderful years. We are blessed with two great children who married great people! A particular joy is our two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter, Winter. 

I give leadership to our staff, participate as an Elder, and preach on weekends. My written purpose is “to love, lead, and feed the flock under my care so that together we accomplish what God intends for our church." 

I long to work alongside churches and leaders in transitional settings. God wants to do so much during this significant time. The approach of many is that nothing will get done until a permanent pastor arrives on the scene. My experience is quite the opposite.

Jeff Garland

senior associate pastor | E-mail

I’ve been happily married for 43 years to Lorie. We have three amazing children all married to wonderful spouses. We have 9 beautiful grandkids and a 10th on the way.  

My main responsibilities include pastoring the Spanish congregation and providing pastoral care to the congregation at large. I’m passionate about guiding people into a relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior and growing in that relationship to a consistent surrender to the Lordship of Christ.   

I’ve had the joyous privilege of being part of the Cornerstone ministry team for 22 years.  

Dave Gruthusen

family ministries pastor | E-mail

Dave has been married to Kresson since 1988, and they have three "20 something" kids: Tyler (Madison), Jordan, and Talia (Cole).    

Dave serves Cornerstone in the areas of adult discipleship (groups, classes, projects) and connections, desiring to see people "living in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, standing firm in one Spirit and striving side by side so that the gospel has full effect in our lives" (Phil 1:27).

One fun fact about Dave is that he hopes to live long enough to see the Chicago Bears win another Super Bowl and at least one of the Chicago baseball teams win a World Series. He'd also like to win a pickleball tournament! 

Robbie Challinor

Robbie works with students in grades 6-12.

Campus administrator | E-mail

Heather has been on staff since March of 2015, currently as the Campus Administrator and Communications Director. She is in her 11th year of teaching piano and has had more than 100 students over those years.

She loves to do jigsaw puzzles, read, play piano, go on cruises, and silently (or not-so-silently) correct others’ grammar.

Lindsey Huang

director of kids ministries & missions | E-mail

Lindsey Huang is married to Jacob. They have two children, Denton and Emily.

Lindsey serves as the Children's Ministry Director and Missions Director at Cornerstone. Her greatest satisfaction in ministry is seeing the joy that radiates from people when they use their spiritual gifts to bless others.

Lindsey loves a good story — whether it's on a page, on a screen, or around a table. She also enjoys traveling just about anywhere with her family. 

John Vines

multi-site business director | E-mail

John Vines is married to Joy and forms a family of 6 consisting of 5 girls and 1 boy. They have recently become "empty-nesters"!  

John is the Business Director and oversees our finances, IT, HR, and larger facility-related projects.  

He loves helping people solve ministry problems, so they are more productive and effective in reaching people with the Gospel. 

If he's not fishing or biking, you can probably find him at a Chinese Buffet!   

Dan Gohman

Tech Director | E-mail

Dan married his wife, Jenna, in late 2010. Together they have 1 son, Sean. 

Dan is responsible for guiding the tech team and assisting the worship team to create an atmosphere of worship both in person, and online through the use of lighting, video, and sound.  

His desire is to see lives changed through the work of the holy spirit both within the walls of Cornerstone church, and in the community as a whole. 

When he's not at work or with his family, Dan loves to hunt, ice fish, and run live sound at various venues and festivals around the area.
