Once upon a time, there was a duo that traveled around the country even internationally to deliver God's life-changing message with combinations of original music, media, and drama. The duo was known as "Wildest Dreams." Wildest Dreams (Rob Blair and Rachel Young) recorded and realeased three CDs and became very successful at reaching the lost in our younger generations. After four years of ministering in Wildest Dreams, and a pre-existing calling into pastoral ministry, Rob Blair became a Pastor at Cornerstone Church. A couple years later, Rachel Young came on staff at Cornerstone too. At that point, it was evident that Wildest Dreams had taken on a deeper local mission while still traveling about once a month. Wildest Dreams was the driving force behind the conception and production of the first Cornerstock Music Festival, and they also were the pioneers of Sunday Night Live. For the last three years, Rob and Rachel have worked with a variety of very gifted musicians to provide music for Sunday Night Live, and in late 2004, they finally hooked up with the musicians who wanted to be in the group for the long haul: Mike Dickey (Drums), Dave McVaney (Acoustic 12 String), and Tom Tarter (Lead Guitar). In the Spring of 2005, Wildest Dreams officially acknowledged their new ministry group by changing their name to "Providence." Providence is planning to travel often in 2006 and they released their debut CD on October 23rd, 2005. The mission is still exactly the same with Providence, but they have adapted and evolved into a more relevant ministry than ever before.
