Administrative Pastor - Terry O'Brien
Terry O'Brien attended Gratiot Baptist Church from his childhood. Gratiot merged with Beulah Baptist Church in 1983 to become Cornerstone.

Since graduating, Terry has worked five years as an engineer at McCord Corporation, fifteen years as a superintendent on various construction sites, six years as owner and operator of a retail computer store, and controller of a tool and die shop just prior to coming to Cornerstone.
