Pastor Greg Oppenhuizen
Interim Senior Pastor – Pastor Greg and his wife Amanda have served together at Cornerstone since they married in 2005.  During this time, Greg and Amanda have pastored primarily in student and worship ministries.  Together, they have 3 amazingly cute children, Tadeus, Samuel, and Piper whom they love like crazy.  Beginning in June 2011, Cornerstone called Greg as Interim Senior Pastor as it transitions to it next season of ministry.  Greg has a passion for Jesus, a shepherd’s heart, and deep love for people.   He believes that God did not give up on this world, but in every moment is pursing all of creation with His awesome redemptive love.  As a church, we have the priveledge of participating with God in His mission as we sacrificially extend ourselves in love to the world around us.
Josh Kirkpatrick
Director of Youth Intern – Hi I’m Josh Kirkpatrick and I am the youth director here at Cornerstone. I am 22 years old and couldn’t be more on fire for the Lord. Jesus is the firm foundation on which I stand and the light that guides me through my day. I have been blessed with an amazing family, awesome friends, and an out of this world fiancé.  I have also been blessed to be serving in the great community of Turlock and I’m so excited for the way I see god moving in this community.  My favorite thing to do is by far hanging out, doesn’t matter what we do (sports, Xbox, World of warcraft, and much much more) I’m always in. I hope to see you soon and get the chance to hear some about you.
 Christine Montalvo
Administrative Assistant – I joined Cornerstone in 2007 as the Office Administrative Assistant. I have been married to Fernando Montalvo for 29 years and have three sons and one little happy grandson, Malachi. I have a servant’s heart after God and His redemptive promises. I enjoy working with volunteers, and I love to meet those who walk through the doors of Cornerstone. I feel very blessed to be part of the pastoral staff and a church that has a heritage of drawing faith and a multi-ethnic community of believers together.  I enjoy great BBQ’s with family and friends, I love reading the bible, and mysteries. I enjoy swimming and running with the hope of one day running a marathon. Oh, and I love a great cup of coffee!
