Michael and Kathi Pitts are the Founding Pastors of Cornerstone Church in Toledo, Ohio and oversee the Cornerstone Global Network of churches and leaders.

The young couple married in 1984 with a passion to see God’s Kingdom established. For a little over a year they commuted from Lima to Toledo to hold weekly services. Then, in 1986 they founded Cornerstone Church with a $1000 gift from their parents, a Bible, and the desire to see God build a church where people from all backgrounds could gather together and experience the redemptive love of God. That same early passion that ignited their journey continues to fuel it forward today.
