About

I serve as the campus pastor at Cornerstone in Albany, NY. Originally from Ireland, I moved to Portland, OR in 1991 and moved to Albany in the summer of 2007 with my wife, Jennie, and our three incredible kids – Aidan, Sophie & Mads.

My dream and passion is seeing people experience the enviable, cause-centric community of faith many like to call church. I love asking, “how can we make it more irresistible and attractive? (my marketing background leaks through), as well as helping people get out of their seat and get into God’s story.

While I’m the campus pastor at Cornerstone, I’m not immune to an occasional “oops-should-I-have-said-that?”. Cornerstone doesn’t pay for or approve this message. My thoughts are my thoughts, but don’t let that scare you.

    Just kidding on the website.
    Hey, nice Blog, you’re my new blogmaster.
    I’m looking forward to our fist session on blogging 101, how to set it up.
    Should be fun.
    Thanks for the help (in advance). I’ll bring you back a NY t-shirt!

    Good to find you Gilp. Looks like things are going well for you and the family. It’s good to see that. I believe God has brought to a place where you will thrive and grow in new ways.

    Blessings
