Our Team

Jacob Kelch is the planting pastor of Cornerstone Church, a new church on the Eastside of Cincinnati. He grew up in this area and graduated from West Clermont Schools. After 15 years of pastoring in different roles, God called Jacob, his wife Brittany, and their four kids—Charlie (10), Blakely (8), Annie (2), and Shepherd (1)—back home to plant a church that’s all about Jesus and His Word.

Jacob has a bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministries, a Master of Divinity from Liberty University, and is currently working on a doctorate in discipleship. He has a strong desire to see people far from God come to know Jesus, and for churchgoers to let go of self-righteousness and follow Christ with real faith. He’s passionate about sound teaching, preaching the Bible clearly, and helping people grow in real, honest community.

Right now, Cornerstone is led by one elder with support and oversight from our sending church. We're praying for God to raise up more elders, deacons, and servant-hearted leaders as the church grows.
