From the President of the Board Congratulations to the Class of 2015! Over the past year, you were exposed to many of our region’s challenges and opportunities. You experienced them firsthand, interacted with decision makers, and listened to those who have been struggling to make it through their darkest days. You identified the most pressing issues then developed a plan to engage on them. And that plan will serve as the foundation for action for every class that follows. Most importantly, you became a class, forming bonds that will last long into the future. You truly are the leaders of our communities. And through your bonds, you will continue to come together to make meaningful impacts for our generation and many that follow. I am humbled and inspired by your tremendous talent and deep commitment and consider myself fortunate to know you. I wish you all the best! Sincerely, Mark E. De Luca

Walt Nilsson is passionate about the flourishing of Southern Maryland. He first came to Southern Maryland to attend St. Mary’s College of Maryland.

He became the Senior Pastor of Cornerstone in 2009. Rev. Nilsson firmly believes that Cornerstone does not exist for the benefit of its members, but rather for the benefit of its non-members and the flourishing of this community. His desire is for Cornerstone to bless St. Mary’s County in such a way that those who are not a part of Cornerstone would say: “Where would this community be had not Cornerstone been here?” Under his leadership, Cornerstone has become a key community partner with the Department of Social Services (DSS). In 2013, Rev. Nilsson was the 2013 Honoree of the Three Oaks Center for his leadership and service to the homeless in St. Mary’s County. That same year, Cornerstone received (along with partner churches) the John F. Sobola Memorial Award for Community Service because its WARM program for homeless individuals resulted in the direct reduction of 911 calls during the winter months. Cornerstone has also developed a vibrant ministry to foster-care families in St. Mary’s County, and to the fifteen girls now in their orphanage in Guatemala. Rev. Nilsson is married to Holly and has four children. He enjoys sailing, cycling, gardening, and cooking.
