    Perspectives: Meet the DLTs

    Meet the DLTs: Dawn Quesenberry

    June 27, 2019 / By Dawn Quesenberry / 1 Comment

    I am Dawn Quesenberry and I am a pastor in the Cornerstone District who serves on the District Leadership Team. I have the privilege to work with clergy and laity in the District and seeing where God is calling us to lead our District for God. It has been an amazing journey as we have learned from each other, our successes, and our failures. It is leading us to where we are now and helping those in the churches discern their own whys of being the church.

    I am married and we have two grown daughters we spend time regularly with, and I serve two churches in the District. I am working with them to discern their why they go to church, and what they will do with it. With that being said, I have also had to discern my own why, because if I can’t do that, I will not be able to help anyone else discern theirs.

    Why I go to church is to worship and praise God who has blessed me more than I could ever ask for. I feel called to help those who don’t even know God, so they can feel His love and be changed forever more. I know there are many who need to experience God’s love and God has sent me to go and live those Words out wherever He sends me. Doing this allows me to build an even deeper relationship with God and those in whose lives I come across. I try to be transparent through it all so people know I mean what I say, I live it, so they can live it. I also know that my why will change over time and as I evolve in my faith journey.

    I am encouraged by your story. I too am in a time of why and discernment. I feel that God is calling me to so much more than I feel like I am ready for. I know that God can do HUGE AMAZING things, and the proof of this is in the bible I have read them a thousand times but still I have that little part of me that questions. I will pray for you and your journey and hope that you will do the same for me.

    Joyful Blessings
