Competency (This section describes your natural gifting and talents.)

What are your natural skills/talents?

Almost anything mechanical, understanding complex systems and ideas.

Behind

In what ways has spiritual growth been evident in your life in the past 6 months?

Studying how current events fit into Bible prophecy.

How do you see your natural skills/talents being used by God for the building up of the body of Christ?

Getting involved with behind-the-scenes projects and leading a community group.

Chemistry (This section will help identify how well you will fit in with the culture of Cornerstone.)

How do you believe you will fit in well with our Board?

I stay in my lane and like helping to problem solve.

Why do you want to join the Board?

I’m neutral about joining the board, but I know God wants me to. It’s my opinion that anyone who is really eager to join should be careful. When you study scripture about the qualifications of church leadership, if it doesn’t scare you a little and make you hesitate, maybe you step back and read it again.

How do you see yourself best serving at your campus?

My greatest form of serving is helping Caryl accomplish the goals and objectives she’s been given by the leadership. My current roles are taking care of the vans and assisting the security, which carry over from my first two terms.

How important is Cornerstone in the midst of all that is going on in your life?
