Next generation ministry coaching, training, and speaking for churches serving kids, youth, young adults, and parents.
From babies through college, I help churches build a lasting faith, equip families, and develop the people who guide them. I serve as Central NextGen Pastor at Radiant Church in Tampa Bay.
Pastor, ministry leader, coach, wife, and mom of four.
Delia Cornwell serves as the Central NextGen Pastor at Radiant Church in Tampa Bay. Her work spans children’s and youth ministries across 13 locations. She develops leaders and partners with families to help the next generation know Jesus and grow in a faith that lasts beyond a weekly church program.
Delia coaches children’s ministry leaders on building biblically grounded, sustainable ministries that can serve growing churches without losing sight of the people in them. She brings a collaborative approach to casting vision, caring for volunteers, and finding practical ways for parents and churches to disciple children together.
Her writing explores everyday family faith and the pressures that children’s pastors face. She has also spoken about leading teams and casting vision in a multisite church, and contributed to conversations on milestones and ordinary moments in children’s spiritual formation.
Delia lives in Tampa with her husband, Sam, and their four daughters. Through Dodec, she and Sam bring their experience in family ministry and church technology together to serve churches.
