In 1993, both Bro and Sis Mayo felt that God was leading them to Spokane, Washington to start a church from scratch. Having never been to Spokane or knowing anyone from Spokane previously the work seemed daunting at times. Yet- God’s faithfulness led Pastor and Sister Mayo through 5 facilities and 4 building programs. Cornerstone currently enjoys a 1,000 seat Sanctuary, family life center and educational campus on Cornerstone Way in beautiful Liberty Lake, Washington.

April’s hobbies include music, gardening, and most importantly spending time with her family. She is a wife, a mother of two, and grandmother to five curious and active boys!

April is excited to be a part of the Cornerstone Academy team and getting to know the Kindergarten and First Grade class.

After having her sons, she took time off to be home with them before moving back to the Central Coast of California where she began teaching once again. Christel spent the next thirteen years at Monterey Bay Christian School teaching kindergarten, second, and fourth grades before transitioning to the MBCS administrative staff.

Besides teaching, Christel enjoys spending time with her husband, sons, daughter, and three grandsons. She is so thankful God has brought her full circle back to teaching His wonderful children once again!

When Sharadyn is not studying for school, in her free time she enjoys creating things for her small business, thrifting, going to local coffee shops, sewing, skiing, playing pickleball, paddle boarding, reading, and spending time on the water.

Sharadyn is excited to be a part of this new school year and to watch each student grow in their knowledge and excel in the Kingdom of God.

James Sessions worked for the City of American Canyon as a Lead Maintenance/Inspector for a total of 6 years. He also worked for the City of Fontana for 15 years as a Public Works Inspector. While he lived in Texas, he worked for a company building construction for large custom homes.

Throughout his lifetime, James has disassembled automobile motors just to rebuild them again and enjoys it! He was Sunday School Director for 4 years and loved his Sunday School class of teenagers, mentoring them and encouraging them to find their place in God and consider the choices they made.

James aka Reggie enjoys his family and friends, cars, camping, traveling, and being able to help others when there is a need.

At 20 yrs old, he moved to Nashville and went on to sign with a major publishing company as a singer songwriter/producer. He has written with some of the biggest songwriters/producers in Pop as well as Country music genres. During this time, Kyle traveled the country, touring and playing in some of the most iconic venues, opening up for a world renown artist.

Although success was growing, Kyle found himself falling deeper into a life of sin. In 2018, tired of running from God, He rededicated his life and talents to Christ. Since then, Kyle has continued to write music and produce but for a different reason. No longer seeking to build his own name, he now writes to point others towards Christ and to build HIS kingdom.

Kyle continues to share his testimony through music with songs like “Wolves”, “End Of Me” and more. He has written songs for the church that are sung across the country. Most recently, He and group of young people that go by the name of Autopilot Worship released a song called “I Saw One” in collaboration with First Pentecostal Church of North Little Rock and Rev. Nathaniel Urshan. Kyle lives in Spokane with his wife Breana and their little dog, Coast.

He enjoys working with children, watching them develop as individuals and children of God. He likes to spend his time hiking, playing pickleball, or reading and studying in coffee shops. He can often be found in the studio creating music with Autopilot Worship and recording/posting covers. Before studying music, Jordan also attended culinary school and loves to cook.

During this time, Erik and I were blessed with three wonderful children and I was blessed to leave the workforce and spend many years as a full time homemaker. Today, I’m blessed to be the grandmother of four incredible grandchildren.

My passion for teaching started as a Sunday School teacher at age seventeen. In 2002, we moved to Spokane and shortly thereafter, I discovered my next teaching passion as a Special Needs Para Educator for East Valley School Dist. I have learned a lot about making education accessible for all students regardless of developmental physical or behavioral challenges. I am so excited to finally have the opportunity to tutor at Cornerstone Academy and bring my passion for teaching into a Christ centered environment. I feel honored to work with such a great staff.
