Compensating for ever-increasing hair loss, Rich has made it his goal to grow the largest beard possible. In his younger years he was a fairly decent jazz trombone player but now settles for simply rocking on guitar or piano.

Rich’s passion is to make God big and inspire others to do so. His life verses include Isaiah 1:18, Psalm 28:7, and Colossians 3:23.

He likes to eat at Panera, watch anything with superheroes, and go hiking. Honeoye Falls, NY is his home town. Rich & his wife Bethany have 3 very active kids.

Rich’s e-mail is rich@cornerstonechurch.life.

After being an elementary PE teacher in Las Vegas for over a decade, Matt has returned to his hometown to help make disciples and drink Tim Horton's coffee. It was in Las Vegas where Matt met his wife Amy, came to faith in Christ, had 3 kids (Madelyn, Elizabeth, and Andrew), went to Seminary, and perfected his guacamole recipe.

He is excited to walk alongside people, helping them to grow in their intimacy with Christ. His life verse is 1 Peter 315; ask him about it - he'd love to tell you why!

Matt and Amy love spending time with their kids, which usually includes playing hide-and-seek, hot-and-cold, and trying to find the remote control after their youngest child hides it.

When she's not dressing up like a scarecrow or doing an interview as Fancy Grace, Donna is opening up the Word of God to show kids just how big Jesus is. She has been in Children’s Ministry for over 30 years. "I have had the opportunity to teach my own children, and now my grandchildren...what a blessing! I love planting seeds in the lives of the kids.”   

Her life verse is Ephesians 4:32, because no one is perfect.

With their kids grown and married, Donna and her husband Paul are “empty nesters” on Grand Island. When they DO get a chance to relax, they love taking off in their camper for the weekend.

For close to a decade, Ryan, known as Dewey to everyone but his family, has been away from his hometown exploring the more exotic parts of the world like Pennsylvania and Ohio. Through his vast travels he has been able to eat at Primanti Bros in Pittsburgh, graduate from Geneva College, work as a Youth Director at a church in the Columbus area, and not become an Ohio State fan even though many people tried to convert him. But now he is back in his hometown ready to be used by God to make an impact on the lives of teens in Western New York. 

The most important thing to him in Youth ministry is that teens will know and trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and grow through that relationship daily. His life verses are Romans 1:16 and Romans 8:38-39. (Basically you could throw in the whole book of Romans as his life verses.) 

Some of his hobbies are anything Batman or comic book related, eating pizza and wings, playing or watching sports, traveling to new places except France, video games, and hanging out with his friends and family especially his three crazy nephews.

A get ‘er done type of gal, Sue is Donna’s behind the scenes, right hand girl. When she isn’t researching and dreaming big things for Children’s Ministry with Donna, you can usually find her biking and running around Grand Island or just relaxing around a camp fire.

Trusting God first! One of her favorite verses is Proverbs 3:5-6.
