Grafton congregation welcomes new pastor

After 25 years of ministry, the Rev. Joe Stillone, Cornerstone Church’s senior pastor, passed the baton to Pastor Aaron Syvertsen on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Syvertsen has served as associate pastor of the Grafton church for the past year, building relationships and ministering alongside Stillone. 

Prior to joining Cornerstone, he served as a pastor at Grace Church of Ridgewood, N.J., where he and his family led and served their community.

“It has been a privilege and a joy to shepherd our church,” Stillone said. “I’m incredibly excited for Cornerstone’s future because during this previous year, I’ve witnessed the favor and anointing of God on Aaron’s life. He is man whose heart for the Lord and for people is evident to all.”

The commissioning ceremony took place during the Sunday service.

Cornerstone Church is at 1187 Falls Rd.
