Cory brought a message to WCBC youth on Wednesday night, October 1, at 6:15 p.m., and youth parents had the opportunity to meet Cory and ask any questions of him, following the youth service. He shared his testimony during the Sunday morning worship service on October 5, and the church voted on the joint recommendation from the Youth and Personnel Committees, and Bro. Robbie, at the close of the service. The result was unanimous in favor of calling him to serve with us at Walnut Creek and Cory started immediately.
