Hello
John and Danielle are a dynamic youth ministry duo!
Danielle's Story
Danielle grew up in a large Christian home with nine siblings and with parents who taught the truth of the Bible and helped her to grow in her faith as she grew in life. She accepted the Lord as her Savior when she was six years old, though her relationship with God didn’t really grow or develop until she was in her teen years. There were many challenges and harder times during those years and parts of Danielle’s adulthood, but God is always faithful and has always drawn her back to Him. His grace and forgiveness is endless and such an amazing gift.
Danielle has served in the church in various ways in the past and is thankful and excited to be walking alongside her husband, John, as they get to serve together as Youth Leaders at Cornerstone. In her free time, Danielle enjoys doing things outside with John and their dog, Luxor. They love to camp, fish, hunt, hike, and take part in most other outdoorsy things. Danielle’s personal hobbies are jogging, reading, and cross-stitching. She looks forward to seeing how God uses her, John, and the youth group kids in this ministry at Cornerstone Church, and they would love to have your 6th-12th grader(s) join them!
Favorite Verse(s): Psalm 91: 1-2 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
John's Story
John grew up in a strong Christian home and learned to love Jesus as a child. In his teen years his parents went through a very tumultuous divorce. He turned away from the Lord and struggled with bitterness and unforgiveness throughout his college years. He never denied his faith or professed anger at God, but his heart was far from the Lord. During this time John married his gem of a wife and that ignited a season of growing. As anyone who has been married will tell you, you can’t hide anything from your spouse. God was so gracious during this time and consistently showed His love and mercy in their lives as they walked through their first few years of marriage. God met them where they were and drew John back to His heart. The man John is today is only because of the love of God and His blessings in Danielle. John is growing daily and feels beyond blessed to have a strong and Godly wife to grow alongside.
John’s prayer is that he can meet the youth of today where they are and show them the love that God has given to him so freely. Cornerstone is his family and the doors are always open!
