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.

Vice - Chair

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.

Secretary

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.

Treasurer

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.

Spiritual Director

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.

I’ve worked with inner city Boy and Girl Scouts and their families in the Terry Heights community since 1999. It was by faith that I was introduced to Cornerstone by a former co-worker. We share the same fundamental values of helping others and that is the reason I joined the Cornerstone Initiative team in 2019.

The Cornerstone Initiative is a pillar in our community and the best example I’ve found in Huntsville of God’s kingdom work. I, along with my family, am blessed to have the opportunity to contribute time, talents, and treasure to this ministry.

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.

David has served as a mentor for Faith and Finances and Jobs for Life for several years. No one knows the ministry of Cornerstone better. His care and concern for our participants now extends to board membership. We are so fortunate to have David serve with us!
