Music & Arts Technical
Jen Wilson came to assist in the area of technical and graphic design in 2010. As technical things by nature are temperamental its good to have someone taking care of these details. Yes, she enjoys spending a lot of time in front of computer screens both large and small. Jen and her husband Noah have two daughters.

Jessica Braun joined us in November 2003. She is a graduate from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Education degree. On Sundays you will find Jess upstairs jumping around with the kids (and with a coffee!) and you will find her husband Darrell involved in music & arts.

Pastor of Youth Ministries
Stephen Thiessen joined our staff in August of 2006 after experiencing a year of youth ministry with us while on an internship from Briercrest College.
He is an avid hockey fan that unfortunately cheers for a team that constantly looses. Thankfully, this doesn’t affect his life too much and his winning attitude and love for life is often on display.
Administrative Assistant
Kathy Janzen is the first person you’ll meet when you come to our offices. She has been the Administrative Assistant at Cornerstone Church since 1994 and is a valuable part of our team. She and her husband Sam are enjoying empty nest life.
