Logan Beardsley - Lead Pastor
Logan has been in full time ministry at Cornerstone for the past ten years. Logan was our youth pastor for nine years, and in May 2017 he transitioned to be our interim lead pastor, and was called in December 2017 to be our next lead pastor. Besides knowing Jesus, the greatest things that has ever happened to Logan is convincing his wife Brianna to marry him and becoming a father. They have five children, Tristan (8), Nolan (6), Jude (4) Selah and (4) Ruth. Logan and Brianna do not know what free time is, but they enjoy being active in the local youth sports programs, going on adventures as a family, playing board games and seeing Jesus change lives! They are also especially fond of that brief moment between kid bedtime and adult bedtime when they can enjoy a quiet conversation over a late night snack (usually of the chocolate variety)
Logan is always available at logan@ccchowchilla.com
