Worship Leader
Diane Gray:
Diane and her husband, Randy, and their seven children live in Lebanon, Oregon. Music has been a significant part of her life, and for over thirty years, she has contributed to congregational music ministry and education, playing piano and leading music teams. Diane’s life mission is “to point people to God through Yeshua,” and she loves to encourage people, young and old, to worship not just through music but with their whole lives-through words and choices, attitudes and actions. Most of all, she desires to lead her loved ones in a life filled with gratitude, praise and excellence (Psalm 95). “Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For Yahweh is the great God and the Great King above all gods.”
Worship & Events Team
Craig and Linna Polley:
Craig and Linna Polley have dedicated over four decades to Music Ministries. Linna has been a vocalist in multiple venues, choir leader, and conductor, with experience directing orchestras and small ensembles. Besides adding vocal parts, Linna also contributes as a bass player in Cornerstone’s rhythm section. Craig is recognized for his dynamic drumming, which brings energy to the worship services, and has played drums in various worship bands and orchestras for more than 45 years. The duo feels that they have been called to the Music Ministry at Cornerstone for such a time as this.
Beyond music, Craig is a self-employed Finish Carpenter and serves as the President of the Leadership Board for Cornerstone while Linna serves as Cornerstone’s Event Coordinator, organizing and overseeing major church gatherings such as Passover, Sukkot, and other special Festivals and events while also serving on the Leadership Board. Their shared commitment is to honor Yahweh through their lives and to inspire the congregation at Cornerstone to do the same.
John 4:23But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him.
