In addition, Pastor Lindsay will serve on the president’s cabinet and advise the president on matters of race, equity and inclusion.

“We are honored to have a person of Pastor Artie Lindsay’s character and competency joining our community as campus pastor,” said Dr. Joe Stowell, president of Cornerstone. “Artie’s giftedness, passion for Christ and love for people will be contagious!

I personally look forward to welcoming Pastor Lindsay to CU and serving with him as together we advance the work of Christ and His kingdom.”

“I am excited about this opportunity to serve at Cornerstone as its campus pastor,” Lindsay said. “I am most excited to join in the work of the Spirit alongside fellow colleagues in the shaping of the lives of emerging influencers in our world for Christ. I hope to continue to build upon the strong foundation of spiritual formation already happening while deepening our love for God and love for neighbor.”
