Mark Petrie

My wife, Debra, and I became part of Cornerstone in January 2023 after relocating from the Kansas City area. We’re blessed with six grown children and ten amazing grandchildren who live across the U.S. and in Malaysia.

It’s a privilege to serve as an elder here at Cornerstone. I’m passionate about how God equips the local church with the Gospel to reach and teach others for His kingdom and His glory.
