Weekly Update:

Friday, January 17, 2025

Happy Friday, Cornerstone Family! This Sunday we're welcoming back Rev. Brad Buescher as our guest preacher. He'll be preaching on Micah 6:8 with a sermon titled, "Experiencing God". You can read more about Brad below.


Note: The church office will be closed this coming Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Brad Buescher spent 30 years as a pastor in the EPC (eight of those years serving at Covenant Chapel) before joining EPC World Outreach Staff as the Director of Strategic Trips and Engage 2025 Coordinator. His hearts desire is to raise awareness of people groups with least access to the gospel. One way he does this is by leading vision trips to places where our EPC global workers live and minister in the 10/40 Window. 


Brad and his wife, Michele, live in Overland Park and have three grown children. Their youngest, Luke, and his wife, Bianca, welcomed a baby last June which is Brad and Michele's first grandchild!

As of January 15th, we've received $117,313 toward our goal of $235K! As a reminder, Freedom to Flourish is a special campaign to pay off our mortgage between now and May 2025.
