Our Youth Pastor

Dave and Darcy Sauer (Youth Pastor and Wife)
The Sauer's have been around Cornerstone since February '07 and Dave was hired on staff in June of that same year. His prayer and passion is to see the Youth of Yuba and Sutter counties be transformed into new creations for Christ. We affectionately call him YPD... (Youth Pastor Dave)
Darcy, a mother of 5 girls, has made a great connection with the young ladies in the youth group. Her desire to study God's word and her heart to see students fall in love with Jesus is an encouragement to us all. Plus you can always count on a smile from Darcy.
Ephesians 6:10-11
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
