Mrs. Hansen has been teaching at Cornerstone for 8 years. She has an amazing husband and two daughters who also attend Cornerstone. Her favorite part about teaching is worshiping with her students. She also loves watching students work hard on mastering something and then seeing them have that “AHA” moment.

Have I not commanded you Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Mrs. Jones

jjones@cornerstonechristian.net

This is Jeni Jones second year with Cornerstone but sixteenth year in the classroom!. She was excited to join this ministry where all four of her sons can attend the same school and continue to grow their faith all the way through high school. Mrs. Jones married her high school sweetheart 25 years ago.  Since high school they have worked together in various children’s ministries and shared many adventures. After adding 4 boys to their family they have experienced even more adventures.

Mrs. Jones enjoys sharing about her adventures with the students, reading many books with them, and looks forward to learning something new each day! She sees mistakes as proof of trying and is excited that each day brings new possibilities to overcome challenges. Mrs. Jones loves being part of the teaching team that makes learning fun and shines God’s light into the darkness; the same team of teachers she trusts to care for and mentor her own sons. 

 No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (MSG)
