Leadership

Pastor John Roy was saved while kneeling by his mother's bedside at age 11. He had the privilege to grow up in a pastor's home with parents that loved the Lord and raised him under a godly influence. After completing high school, he attended West Coast Baptist College in Lancaster, California. In 2002, while on a singing tour for the college, Pastor Roy surrendered to full time ministry. In 2004, he married his lovely wife Rachel and became the Youth Pastor at Cornerstone Baptist Church. After six years in Youth Ministry, the Lord allowed Pastor Roy and his wife to start a singles ministry. In 2016, he was voted in to be the next pastor of Cornerstone and in January of 2017, John was ordained into the ministry.  Upon the transition of Pastor Randolph to Pastor Emeritus on November 12, 2017, Pastor Roy became the new pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church.
Pastor and Mrs. Roy have five children and are licensed foster parents in the state of Arizona.
Pastor Roy's life verses are Psalm 40:1-3. "I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord."

Sam Kerch was born into a Christian home in a small town in central Illinois where he and his family attended a local Baptist Church. At the age of 5, his dad led him to the Lord in his living room.  In 1982, his parents relocated to Phoenix, AZ for health reasons.  They became charter members of the newly organized Cornerstone Baptist Church.

He met his wife, Chrystal, in the youth group at Cornerstone.  They have 3 children all serving or preparing to serve in full-time ministry.  In 2011, he began teaching the couples class at the church.  It was through study and working with the couples in the class that God began preparing his life for ministry.

Myles Martin was born in Colorado, where his parents were faithful members of a Baptist church. He had the privilege of growing up in a home influenced by godliness, and as a result, made a profession of faith as a 4-year-old. However, he struggled with assurance during much of his childhood, and did not settle the matter of his salvation until the age of 16, during a teen activity. God made it clear to Myles in the next few years that he was to serve in full time ministry. Upon graduating high school, he attended Heartland Baptist Bible College in the fall of 2015. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2019 and stayed an additional year to complete some classes in the master’s program. During the summer breaks, he had the opportunity to intern at several different churches. He also had the privilege of working at Southwest Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, OK for the last 3 years of his college education. In October of 2018, God brought a young lady into his life, and Myles and Abigail were married in May of 2020. In June, the Lord moved them to Phoenix to begin serving at Cornerstone Baptist Church.
His life verse is Jeremiah 33:3, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”
