Dear Cornerstone Family,
We are excited to announce that we will welcome a new staff member to our team at Cornerstone! We have been praying for the Lord to provide a Female Student Ministry Coordinator and that prayer has been answered.
Morgan High is a Huntsville native who has recently returned to the area with her husband Nathan and golden retriever, Simba. She regularly attended Cornerstone for a few months in 2020 before marrying Nathan. Morgan graduated from the University of South Alabama and has served in ministry for several years at Eastern Shore Presbyterian Church in Fairhope, AL. She will officially start her work at Cornerstone at the beginning of April.
As you see Morgan and Nathan at Cornerstone, please welcome them! Join us in praising God for his provision for our church family and our student ministry.
