Rick has been senior pastor of Cornerstone for almost ten years, half of our church's history. With a large home library filled with theological books, books on American and world history, biographies, and political novels, Rick spends his leisure time reading, working in his yard, or attending Carolina football games, and fishing with his family. Rick loves his role as a preacher and spends most of his time researching and writing expository sermon series from whole Bible books. He has preached through many of the books of both the Old and New Testaments over his twenty-three years as a pastor; currently, he is leading us in a series on the Book of Romans. Rick has such a passion that he wakes up every morning excited about preparing sermons and shepherding our church family who he loves so much. Each day is another opportunity for Rick to show his heartfelt gratitude for the amazing grace of God that has set him ON TRACK with his Savior as a young college student.
