Administrative Pastor - Terry O'Brien

Terry O'Brien attended Gratiot Baptist Church from his childhood. Gratiot merged with Beulah Baptist Church in 1983 to become Cornerstone.

Terry grew up working in his father's construction company and learned the building business from the ground up. After graduating from high school in 1966, he attended Lawrence Technological University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. He went on to get a Master's degree in Christian Education from Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary two years later.

Since graduating, Terry has worked five years as an engineer at McCord Corporation, fifteen years as a superintendent on various construction sites, six years as owner and operator of a retail computer store, and controller of a tool and die shop just prior to coming to Cornerstone.

Terry and his wife Ruthanne have been married over thirty years and have two adult daughters, Shari (O'Brien) Fields and Shelley (O'Brien) Johannes. Terry has been the Business Administrator at Cornerstone since January 1, 2000.
