Meet the Team
Disciples of Jesus committed to glorify God, and really love all His people.
Pastor Paul Hunter
Senior Pastor of Cornerstone
“I’m all in when it comes to sharing the good news of Jesus and helping people grow in their faith—whether that’s right here in our community, across the state, or around the world! God’s plan for saving the world starts with the local church. Discipleship is something I’m really passionate about, and I’m committed to serving in that area by encouraging others in their walk with God on a practical level. I believe the Bible is more than just a book—it’s God’s inspired Word, all about His plan for salvation, and it’s completely trustworthy with no mistakes or contradictions. I’m excited to be a part of God’s mission here at Cornerstone!” – Pastor Paul Hunter
Pastor Paul has faithfully served God, the church, and his community for over 25 years, sharing the Gospel and making disciples with unwavering love for Jesus. A devoted husband and father, he prioritizes family as a cornerstone of his ministry and sees the local church as a vital vessel for sharing the hope of the Gospel. His global vision is evident in his involvement in eight international mission trips, deepening his commitment to reaching people for Christ and making disciples of all nations.

After celebrating 50 years of ministry experience, Pastor Donn Chapman assumed his new position as Pastor Emeritus at Cornerstone Ministries in January of 2025. Pastor Donn served as the Senior Pastor of Cornerstone for 25 years. During that time, Cornerstone experienced incredible stability, growth, and development, all of which Pastor Donn credits to the Lord. In addition, his compassion for the hurting led to the creation of Uncommon Service Weekend, Cornerstone’s wide-scale community service event, the development of The Hope Center that provides home and car repairs for those who can’t afford them, and the support of multiple orphanages, missions, churches and, communities in Africa, India and many other countries around the world.
