Andy and his family have been attending Cornerstone for almost 3 years and have been members for 2 of those years. Cornerstone has a special meaning to them because their family was originally from Concord but moved away to Colorado and came back to NC settling in Statesville. Andy's wife grew up in Concord and they decided to start their own family in Concord. As they were looking for a church home they discovered Cornerstone (formerly 2nd Presbyterian) was the church Andy's grandparents and father attended back in the 1950's. In his role as the Outreach Leader, Andy hopes to connect with persons and families on a personal and spiritual level; he wants Cornerstone to become a special place for them too. Please contact Andy with ideas and passions that you have; whether it is activities, community work, classes, whatever it is!
