Our staff team

Chris Mann / Lead Pastor

Chris is married to Helen, and they have four young kids. As a teenager, Chris came to personally know and trust in Jesus. This has led to a burning passion for others coming to know Jesus too. After eight years in youth ministry in the Hawkesbury, Chris and Helen took the step of faith and headed out with a team of others to plant a church in Box Hill. They are so excited to see what God does here, and in Sydney, all for God’s glory! You can read more about Chris and his wife Helen here.

Aimee Holman / Ministry Worker

Aimee works part-time at Cornerstone, largely in the fellowship space. She’s especially passionate about seeing newcomers find their home at church and encouraging a culture where people deeply care for one another. Aimee also provides pastoral care for women, and she loves the many conversations that come with that. Before joining the staff team at Cornerstone, Aimee was a ministry trainee and student minister at St James Turramurra. She completed her Master of Divinity at Sydney Missionary and Bible College (SMBC) in 2024. Aimee has been married to Tom since 2021, and they now call Rouse Hill home. Tom is the board game aficionado of the family, and Aimee is the tea and house-plant captain.

Daniel Zahra / Student Minister

Daniel is a student minister at Cornerstone and is mainly responsible for youth ministry. His journey to Cornerstone began in 2020 when he trusted in the good news of Jesus over Zoom in the middle of COVID. Daniel originally studied Business Administration and Law and worked in the industry for a couple of years before beginning study at Moore Theological College in 2025. He currently lives in Pitt Town with his wife Romy and their four dogs Polly, Frankie, Malo, and Pippa.
