Missions | Christ the Cornerstone Church

Gayle Schultes serves as our Missionary to the Dominica Orphanage & School, Cornerstone Church in La Urena and assists with the Children’s Feeding & Education Programs in El Tamarindo,DominicanRepublic.Because many of the children are orphans, and others are too poor to be fed or educated by their parents, we have sent financial donations to help feed, clothe and educate the children since 1993.

Along with Rev. Fransisco Barrera, Gayle helps provide Spiritual guidance to the children and surrounding community. She also distributes food, clothing, school supplies, and other basic life necessities to orphans and local families.

Gayle also coordinates Mission trips with a wide variety of church groups, organizations, and individuals.

Christ the Cornerstone Church & Dominica Orphanage & School joined together to provide for the physical, educational and spiritual needs of the children of La Urena, Dominican Republic.

A Ministry of Love – Support is needed to continue providing basic needs to the children of Dominica School. The children are orphaned, abandoned, or come from families that can no longer provide their basic needs. Sponsors are needed to make a difference by providing funds for care, shelter and education.

The Only Means of Support – Unlike the United States there is no government assistance for the homeless and poor. The Dominica School reaches over 200 children in the community. The school serves a meal consisting of milk, bread and sometimes fruit. They depend on support from people like you.

Education is Key – We know and believe that education – academic, vocational, and spiritual are key in assuring these children an opportunity to stop the cycle of poverty. By providing academic and vocational education, we offer the children a better chance to find employment and a brighter future. Spiritual education assures that the children know God loves them and they are valuable human beings who deserve to live with dignity and respect.
