Meet The Pastors

Our Leadership

Philip Stanley

Co-Pastor
As a third-generation minister, Pastor Philip Stanley grew up in a family deeply committed to serving the community. Having grown up in a multi-ethnic, multi-generational church, Pastor Phil has seen firsthand the transformative power of God, and is committed to bringing those same values to Cornerstone Assembly. When he is not at the church, Pastor Phil enjoys a good cup of coffee on his front porch, spending time with his family, and following all sorts of sports (especially, the World Champion Atlanta Braves.)

Heather Stanley

Heather Stanley is a veteran Assemblies of God pastor. She served for eighteen years as the youth pastor of the Assembly at Augusta, while organizing and implementing outreach events, mission trips and many summer camps. Her greatest goal is loving and reaching those who don’t know Jesus and growing the kingdom.


Heather and Philip were married in 2018, and adopted their wonderful son Nikolai soon after. During football season, you can find her cheering for her National Champion Georgia Bulldogs. Heather loves being with her family and pets and spending as much time at the beach as possible.

Our Leadership

Nicole Worm

Youth Pastor

Nicole Worm could write a whole book series on youth group leadership (and we think she should) and has heart for teaching our teens about true discipleship. She never shies away from tough questions and treats all our teens with dignity and respect. Her goal of empowering our students to be disciple makers no matter their age is just one of the many reasons she is the best.

Our Leadership

Bethany Stanley

Worship Pastor

Bethany Stanley rightfully approaches worship as something that extends past music and songs. She prioritizes the heart of the worshipper over all else and has raised up a team that strives to make room for the Lord in each service.

Revelation 7:9 Praise from the Great Crowd
9 After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands.
