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.)

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.
