girl's ministries
Girls Ministry is a program for girls in which they are discipled by Godly women in the hopes that they themselves will grow into Godly women. Our goal is for these girls and young women if learn of their identity in Christ from a young age rather than feeling pressured to forge their identity in this ever changing world.

Girl's Ministries
I'm Alicia Garcia and my family and I have been part of Cornerstone Church for the last 6 years. My husband, Antonio, and I have 4 daughters: Lexie, Vicki, Kaylee and Monica. I'm blessed to be a stay-at-home mom with my girls and in my free moments I love to crochet. I'm absolutely honored that God has called me to help lead our next generation of girls. Connecting and building relationships with the youth has been a blessing to me- you're never too old to learn or too young to teach.
Hi, my name is Melissa Morse. I have been attending Cornerstone Church since around 2017. I have been volunteering in the Girls' Ministry program since around 2018. I have enjoyed teaching the girls and watching them grow up, and is amazing to watch them continue to grow and walk in their faith. Through Girls' Ministry, I find the girls encourage me as well as I do for them. I work as a hairdresser, I'm married to my husband, Mark Morse, who also attends Cornerstone Church. We have a daughter Vanessa Martino and her husband Steven. I enjoy helping the girls become women of God.
