Emily Phillips is our Children, Families and Youth Worker. She joined us in September 2022.
She is married to Cam and has two small children. We already know she is lots of fun and is great with kids and young people, but here’s a bit more about her that you may not know…
Where are you from?
From Wigston, Leicestershire.
What’s your favourite food?
Yorkshire puddings.
What’s your favourite sport, hobby or activity?
Netball, Painting & Snowboarding.
Where in the world would you most like to go?
Réunion (island off Madagascar) or anywhere to go proper whale watching.
What did you want to be when you were little?
Zoo Keeper.
What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done?
Go off-piste snowboarding, lost Cam and ended up underneath a frozen waterfall with massive icicles.
What’s the best thing about being a Christian?
I’m forgiven! And having a constant presence and friendship of God. When times are tough I know I always have someone there and someone to talk to. Also, the fact that I know that everything happens according to God’s plan.
Why did you want to be a children’s/youth worker for Cornerstone Church?
I love serving our kids in creative ways and getting them excited and serious about Jesus. It’s something I’ve always felt passionate about Christian kids/youth work and there were lots of different things that made me realise God was definitely nudging me to do it.
