Docquinn Taylor
Vice Chair

I am humbled to be a part of The CornerStone Initiative. It is an organization making a difference in people’s lives and it is creating positive change in our community. It is awesome to see people attend our programs and grow inwardly. Our work here at CornerStone directly helps to make people’s lives more complete through the love of Jesus Christ.

 

Caleb Ficken
Board Member

Getting involved with CornerStone was easy because their mission aligned with my personal values and heart for serving others. I love how Cornerstone is about sustainably changing lives.

Terry Boyd
Board Chair

Terry found The Cornerstone Initiative when he and his wife, Stacey, moved to Huntsville the summer of 2020. He said, “After serving as a volunteer leader for Operational Christmas Child in Northern Virginia, I was hoping to volunteer with a locally focused ministry and discovered The Cornerstone Initiative’s mission. Cornerstone’s Christ-centered approach to building transformational relationships in Huntsville’s low-income community immediately resonated with me and I felt God’s leading to contact Cornerstone about volunteer opportunities. I couldn’t feel more on mission for the Lord and for our community than with Cornerstone.”

 

Elizabeth Jacobus
Secretary

I became involved with CornerStone through my employer, ServisFirst Bank, and was drawn to the mission of the organization as well as the individuals who were involved. The love of Jesus is evident, and the style of support is unique. I want to be involved in making an impact in our community, and I believe CornerStone is doing that.

Jane Daniel
Board Member

I believe strongly in The Cornerstone Initiative’s mission and in its leadership. Cornerstone focuses on supportive and lasting relationships, coupled with initiatives that provide very practical and tangible tools to help individuals experience and sustain meaningful change in their lives. When this is led by gifted, humble, transparent staff leaders who consistently seek God’s will for their work, the result is a unique and powerful opportunity for all to experience transformation.  I am honored to serve in support of The Cornerstone Initiative.

Katie Herr
Board Member

I was drawn to Cornerstone because of the leadership, mission, and Christ-centered values that I witnessed as a donor and volunteer of this incredible organization. It is truly an honor to serve alongside those who strive to make a lasting impact on our community through deep relationships.

 

Brandon Carrin
Treasurer

I was introduced to The Cornerstone Initiative in 2018 through a Leadership Greater Huntsville classmate. At that initial meeting I heard Debbi’s heart and passion for serving Christ and serving others. I knew then that this was a ministry I wanted to support. I have enjoyed serving as a mentor in the initiatives of Faith and Finances and Amplify. I am truly grateful for the leadership of The Cornerstone Initiative and trust God will bring more impact to our community through this growing ministry.

Sarah Collins
Board Member

My husband Tony and I attend Southwood Presbyterian Church, a mission partner with the Cornerstone Initiative. When I heard about an opportunity to serve the Jobs for Life program, I thought my skills as a human resources manager would be a perfect fit. Not only is the Cornerstone Initiative a wonderful way to serve our community, but the leadership is inspiring and their heart and actions are in the right place. I hope I am able to serve for many years to come.


Board of Influencers

The Board of Influencers consists of an incredible group of men and women whose personal missions align with the mission of The CornerStone Initiative. They serve as advisors by sharing their wisdom and experience with our leadership team on a regular basis. Most of all, they believe in and support the work of CornerStone by using their influence to further our mission and to champion the cause of Christ in our community.
