Staff Profiles

Cornerstone is a staff-directed, student-lead ministry. That means that there are many full-time staff on campus to help you as students succeed in your ministry on campus! We are a resource and a backbone here long term so that as students come and go, Cornerstone will maintain the same vision and focus for generations of students that come through UNC. We think that college students are an incredible resource that God can use to change this campus, this city, the country and the world. We are so honored to be a part of what the Lord does through you, the students here at Carolina.

Cornerstone Campus Staff 

Miles and Emme O’Neill                

Miles is the campus director of Cornerstone. Miles and Emme have been on staff with CCC since 1994 years serving in many places including East Asia for two years before settling in Chapel Hill. They have a house-full of kids: two daughters, Camryn (8 yrs. old) and Sadie (6 yrs. old); and a son, Hudson (4 yrs. old). You can find Miles in the local coffee shops meeting with students or hiking and fly-fishing in the mountains with the kids strapped to his back.  Emme will easily give you her opinion as to the finest coffee in the area as well and can also be found chasing three kids at Target or the mall most any day!

Josh and Erin Smith                 

Josh and Erin were married in January ’09. They are a great couple and a blast to be around. Erin graduated from UNC in ’03 and Josh graduated from Kansas State. They both have a wealth of experience and we are glad that Josh saw the light blue glow and moved to the South rather than the other way around!

Matt Schneider           

Matt graduated from UNC in 2009 after transferring from Appalachian State. He bleeds Carolina blue, even though Duke Hospital saved his life…ask him the story. You can usually find him either playing sports or watching ESPN. Matt is excited to be on staff at a place he loves so much!
