Our Pastors:

Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Our commitment, on behalf of God’s people, is to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of His Word. Our passion and goal is to equip believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ.

Having served in ministry for forty years, Pastor Joe has a God-given mandate upon his life in the ministry of healing and has seen amazing miracles at the hands of the Lord, including the dead raised.  But, not only that, he is called to train the disciples of Jesus to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in also healing the sick. He is passionate about missions and evangelism; especially our missionary work in Africa, the Philippines and Nepal. Additionally, he ministers weekly in our outreach to the needy through Cornerstone Outreach Center of Amarillo. He provides both inspiring and wise oversight to the people of God.

Pastor Vonna Ossenbeck
 
Pastor Vonna is such a vital and valued member of our pastoral team. She oversees our jail outreach to women inmates in Amarillo. This ministry has been her heartbeat for decades and is constantly bearing fruit in changed lives. She is also the first pastor that our new clients from Cornerstone Outreach Center meet when they visit our campus for assistance on Fridays. Many have had their first introduction to Jesus Christ in her office and first felt His love and concern for their needs, as she has extended her faith for them in prayer. She has long served in the ministry of prayer and heads up our Intercessory Prayer Ministry, as well. She is a mother in our household of faith and as such, is greatly honored.
Pastors Jesse & Mayra Vidaurre
 
The hearts of Pastors Jesse & Mayra knitted to our church, our vision and our team from the moment we met. Reaching out is the core and heart of Cornerstone Ministries and as Pastors Jesse & Mayra shared their heart for the Hispanic community in our city, Cornerstone Espanol was born. The weekly Spanish speaking service is held in the chapel of Cornerstone Worship Center Sundays and Wednesdays and is growing consistently in the care of these gifted pastors. Soon they will expand to the Annex buildings on our campus to give them even more room to grow. Their worship, prayer and preaching is with passion and purpose. If you are in need of a Spanish speaking service, this is the place for you!
