Our Leadership

(Ephesians 4:11-13)

our leadership team
The Leadership Team (LT) at Cornerstone is a group of congregation-approved members who oversee the church both spiritually and operationally.

The overall goal is to maintain Cornerstone’s health as a Christ-centered community.

She has been a part of much of Cornerstone’s history and seen first hand how God has blessed this community through the various ups/downs over the last 10+ years. She has no doubt that this season will be another time of great growth and maturing for our community.

Hi, I'm Emily! I've been coming to Cornerstone since 2020. I was born and raised in the Boston area. On the weekdays, I work as a management consultant. On the weekends, I'm usually baking, watching Formula One races, and searching for the best ice cream shop in MA.

Yerin Myung
Hello everyone! I am Yerin, a 5th year pharmacy major at Northeastern. I am a big foodie and would willingly use money I cannot afford to spend if it means I will eat well. I have been attending Cornerstone for the past 5 years since my freshman year of undergrad. I served as a campus leader for 3 years during my time in college ministry and now am serving on the welcoming ministry since transitioning YA ministry. I hope I can provide some insight as someone who has been involved in different ministries and life stages. While change can come with a lot of anxiety and unknowns, I am excited to see how this process can help bring growth to our church!

Some of my hobbies include being an avid Goodreads user and playing Tetris.

She is currently working as a career advisor at Boston College and serving on Worship Ministry Core at Cornerstone. She moved to Boston to study pharmacy at Northeastern, but along the way God showed her a different path in college student advising that she fell in love with, so she decided to get a graduate degree in this new field.

Wherever she is, she loves to use her gift of Mercy to show God’s love to others.
