Principal call news from Cornerstone Lutheran School!

The Cornerstone Lutheran School Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Mr. Tom Hunter has accepted the divine call to serve as Interim Principal of Cornerstone Lutheran School for the 2026–2027 academic year. Mr. Hunter brings more than four decades of experience in Lutheran education as a teacher, principal, and professor in Lutheran elementary, high school, and higher education settings. Throughout his ministry, he has demonstrated a deep commitment to Christian education, educational leadership, and the training of future Lutheran educators. Mr. Hunter will officially begin his duties on July 1, 2026.

As Cornerstone Lutheran School enters a new chapter as a ministry jointly supported by Mount Olive Lutheran Church, Peace Lutheran Church, and Eagle Lake Lutheran Church, the Board is thankful that the Lord has provided this Christian leader. This call is made with the understanding that the Cornerstone Lutheran School Board of Directors will begin the divine call process for a permanent Principal when the synodical call window opens in October 2026.

Please join us in thanking God for His continued blessings upon Cornerstone Lutheran School and in welcoming Mr. Hunter. We ask that you keep Mr. Hunter, our faculty and staff, students, families, supporting congregations, and the future leadership of Cornerstone Lutheran School in your prayers as we move forward together in service to Christ and His kingdom.

"Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God...For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:5,16). ✝️
