Pastor – Luke Knoll
Luke is a Montanan; though not born in Montana, he has lived here most of his life. He enjoys spending time with his family and all the things Montanans enjoy like hunting, fishing, hiking, 4 wheeling and snowmobiling. Luke has been married to Marci since 2004. They have 2 children who are beautiful gifts from God. When you meet Luke for the first time, whether it be at Cornerstone Church or at the grocery store, you’ll see a big man who loves God with all his heart and seeks to please Him. He likes to have fun and just hang out with friends. When he teaches, you’ll hear and see the passion he has for the Word of God.
Children’s Programs Coordinator – Laura Gardner
Ron and Laura Gardner have attended the Church since 1987. These childhood sweethearts have been married for over 30 years and have three adult children. Melissa, Whitney and Logan. They have a passion for teaching children and serving the Lord in whatever way is needed. Laura has a wonderful gift for organization and teaching.
Associate Pastor – Elisa Huenink
Elisa has been working with youth since 2016 and a part of Cornerstone Church since 2011. Her passion is to help people find how their story fits in God’s big story. Her favorite way to do that is through camps and retreats, but small groups are also up there on the list. If she’s not at the church you could find her playing video games with her husband Daynne, wandering through the woods, or hanging out with friends
Office Administration and Small Group Coordinator – Marci Knoll
Marci was born and raised in Washington. While there, she graduated from Washington State University with a BA in Business Administration with a minor in Marketing. She moved to Montana 20 years ago to be with her husband, Luke. Together they have two wonderful children.
Marci is working in our office administration and with our small groups. When she is not at the church, she can be found cheering her kids on at sporting events, thrifting, taking walks or spending time with her family.
