Pastors, Staff, & Church Leadership

Nathan Palmer

Senior Pastor

I have had the privilege of serving on the staff of churches since 2009. First in Iowa and most recently in Wisconsin for the past 9 years. Both in Associate Pastor roles interacting primarily with Students. January of 2022 is when we began our call of serving here at Cornerstone EFC. My family which includes my wife Tara and our children Brayden, Addison, and Rey are excited to be able to call both Cornerstone and Owatonna home. I enjoy running (specifically training for marathons) and as a family we love to be active and to spend our summers trying to get out and go camping! We look forward to being able to meet you!

Scott Kahn

Associate Pastor

I served as an Associate Pastor in Nebraska for nine years before coming on staff at Cornerstone EFC in August 2022. I received my bachelor degree in Christian Ministries from Trinity International University. My amazing wife Charity and our two kids, Olivia and Madison, are excited to call Owatonna home. I enjoy hanging out with the family, running (because I enjoy eating), fishing, and watching the Green Bay Packers. I look forward to meeting you!

My husband, Josh, and I have two daughters and have attended Cornerstone EFC since 2013.  I have been the Administrative Assistant since August of 2020. We are a homeschool family and follow our daughters along on their various activities.  I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, Indiana and Masters Degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I feel extremely blessed to be a part of the Cornerstone family and to serve the community alongside my brothers and sisters in Christ.
