Dear Cornerstone family,
The Scripture teaches us that the Father sent His Son into the world to save for himself a people for his own possession (Luke 4:18; 1 Peter 2:9). Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the apostles were sent by the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, to share the gospel to every nation under heaven (John 20:21; Matt.28:19-20).
At Cornerstone, we believe the church is a sent people on mission for Christ in the world. That in different ways depending on the Lord’s call, every member of Christ’s church is committed to doing their part in advancing the good news of Jesus Christ—proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people everywhere. From Franklin to the uttermost parts of the world, we exist—the church exists—to make disciples of Jesus Christ through the preaching the gospel (Col.1:19-20).
One of the many ways Cornerstone is involved in missions is through regular monthly support of missionaries, church planters, mercy ministries, and campus ministers. To learn more about who we support, please visit the mission page on the church website.
Today, we get the privilege of sitting under the ministry of Rev. Andrew Terrell, one of our new campus minister supports. Rev. Terrell works with our denomination’s campus ministry, Reformed University Fellowship International, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
Andrew grew up not too far from Nashville in Georgia, but he spent most of his adult life in Spain and New York City. Before serving as the Campus Minister for international students at Vanderbilt, Andrew had the same role at Columbia University in New York City for eight years. Two of Andrew’s passions are cross-cultural friendships and deep conversations about faith and spirituality. He loves getting to combine the two in his work with RUF-I.
Andrew holds a B.S. in Psychology and a M.A. in Biblical Studies and is ordained as a minister in the Presbyterian Church in America. When he’s not on campus with international students, you can find Andrew reading a book, walking in the woods, or alongside his wife Olivia chasing their three young boys around the backyard.
Please give attention to the message the Lord has laid on Rev. Terrell’s heart as he comes today to minister the gospel in our midst.
Your servant,
