Dr. B. Wesley Austin Jr.
Dr. Booker Wesley Austin Jr. originates
from Watts, California where his father,
Rev. Booker Wesley Austin, Sr. was the
pastor of Truth Missionary Baptist Church
for 35 years. Dr. Austin Jr. is a third
generation minister. His grandfather, Rev. J.
T. Austin was the pastor of the historic
Shiloh Baptist Church in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma.
In 1979, Dr. Austin Jr. was licensed and
ordained into the ministry and in the spring
of 1980 enrolled in Southwestern
Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas in
pursuit of a Master of Divinity Degree.
His other educational accomplishments
include a Bachelors of Arts, California
State University, Dominguez Hills, Carson
California, 1979; Masters of Divinity,
Southwestern Theological Seminary, Fort
Worth, Texas, 1984; Masters of Religious
Education, Southwestern Theological
Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas, 1994 and
Doctorate of Ministry, Perkins School of
Theology/Southern Methodist University,
Dallas, Texas, 1998.
After pastoring churches for over
20 years, in 2003, God gave Dr. Austin Jr.
the vision to establish Cornerstone
Community of Faith. He believed one
factor in this new endeavor was how
the community perceived itself. In other
words, a new church development
allowed the community to have an
active voice in ministering to relevant
concerns. An echoing theme
emphasized daily at Cornerstone,
“Relevant messages for Real living.”
Cornerstone Community of Faith truly
believes when a community is healthy
so is the culture. It was Dr. Austin’s
desire to identify the people we would
serve and focus on the divine purpose
God has for Cornerstone.
Celebrating 40 years of marriage to
Mrs. Myra Lynn Austin, they are proud
parents to three children, and four
wonderful grandchildren. Whether it is
marriage, his family, or pursing the
vision and continued work God has for
Cornerstone Ministries, Pastor B has
always believed “With God all things
are possible,”
Faith is the substance of things hoped
for, and the evidence of things not
seen….
Faith-Forsaking all I Trust Him…
Faith-I put my Absolute Confidence in
you God…
