Cornerstone’s Session is excited to announce that Melinda King has accepted our offer to serve as CPC’s Bridge Interim Pastor. Melinda has led many of our recent worship services and has known our congregation since before Fred was called to be our Pastor. With the blessing of the Presbytery’s Commission on Ministry, Melinda will work in our church office four days a week. If you need to contact Melinda please reach out to her through the church office. Having filled our Bridge Interim role, the Session’s focus will turn to the next steps in our path to a new Senior Pastor. We’ll share more updates in the coming weeks.
