Pastor Don Owsley is the teaching elder of Cornerstone Presbyterian Church. ("Teaching Elder" is the Presbyterian lingo for "Pastor.")
Don's Story
Because Don's father was a career Army man, he, his brothers and sister lived all over the place. Don was born in California, but lived in Germany, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon, Korea, Washington, Florida, New Jersey and then finished high school in Whittier, California. It was there he became a Christian when sixteen years old.
 Having nowhere else to go, he joined the army when he turned eighteen. He met his wife, Lois, while stationed in Okinawa; but married in Louisiana. Since becoming a Christian Don felt the call to full-time ministry, but tried other things first: Morse code operator, dental therapist, disc jockey, sales clerk, image consultant, interim pastor, school teacher, communications director, and founder-principal-teacher at a private Christian school. He crammed seminary into nine years, during which time he was a youth director and then an elder in a PCA church.
He's been pastoring twelve years while also working full time as a husband and father. Favorite things? Having deep or witty conversations with friends, fishing, reading, watching movies (and critiquing the tar out of them), playing author, landscaping, gardening, remodeling houses, and would enjoy learning how to do woodworking.
