Hey everybody, Andy here. Just want to give a quick update on everything going on in Cornerstone, the Moore household, and finances as well.

First, Cornerstone:
Our summer program has begun — what we call Summerstone — where we do a weekly Bible study, which will actually be a podcast study this summer. In it, we’re talking about verses that are usually plucked out of context. It's a great way to learn why we can’t do that — we need the full meaning behind a verse to understand what the author was trying to say to the original audience.

Summer is also a wonderful time to build morale. It's a very chill time to get to know each other a little better, as well as dive into God’s Word.

As far as the Moore household:
There’s a lot going on right now. As you may have seen, I am now officially ordained! I’m now Reverend Andy Moore — but please, just call me Andy. I also have a new title at Bellefield: Assistant Pastor for Campus Ministry.

For those asking, “Am I still with the CCO?” — the answer is yes! I'm still with the CCO. I love college ministry — it's my passion, it’s my gifting — and I can’t really see myself doing anything else. This new role just means I have more responsibility with the church, which I’m glad to help with and serve in however I can.

Also, you may have seen that Benjamin officially graduated from SciTech! We’re so proud of him. He got in front of everybody, said the Pledge of Allegiance — it was just a very cool, very emotional moment for me, as you can imagine, being an emotional person — to see how far he’s come. We’re proud of him and looking forward to what God will do through him and with him at Pitt.

As far as finances:
Last month was a wonderful month — thank you to all who chipped in and gave above and beyond. It's so meaningful to see how God has worked through you, and for us to rely on Him and His provision.

That said, we could always use more help. We need monthly donors. We need one-time donations. So I’m asking: if you already give, would you consider increasing your gift by 10–25%? Or, if you’d prefer to make a one-time donation, that’s great too.

Another way to help is by sharing — share this video, share our needs with your friends or family. Put them in touch with me — I’d love to talk with them about what I do and what God is doing through students.

Thank you so much to those who give and continue to give. I’m praying for you and praying that God blesses you richly this summer.

Thank you so much.

Andy: Hey everybody, Andy here! I'm joined today by student leader Logan. Logan, why don’t you tell everyone a little about yourself?

Logan: Hi, I’m Logan. I’m a rising junior here at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Computer Science. I'm originally from the Harrisburg area.

Andy: Awesome! And what’s your role in leadership?

Logan: I’m part of the Wednesday Night team here at Cornerstone. I help plan our large group gatherings, coordinate events, and take care of a lot of the behind-the-scenes logistics that need to get done.

Andy: Yeah, Logan does a ton for our ministry. So how did you first hear about Cornerstone?

Logan: I was actually recommended by a high school friend to get involved with the CCO. He just graduated from university last month and is now a youth pastor. When he was attending Pitt, he told me, “Hey, the CCO is based in Pittsburgh. I really enjoy my group here—you should get involved.” So I went to the activities fair, met Bobbi, and later that day at 5 PM, I met you, Andy. I’ve been involved ever since.

Andy: That’s awesome—we’re really glad to have you here. What would you say Cornerstone has meant to you?

Logan: For me, Cornerstone has been a really refreshing place. Even though a lot of our events are at night—later than I’m usually active—it’s still a time where I feel re-energized. It’s a place where I have real friendships and we can dig into meaningful conversations—about life, the Bible, and even just fun, random debates you never knew you needed to have.

Andy: That’s so great. Is there anything you’d like to say to my supporters?

Logan: Yes—thank you! This community has grown so much because of your support and generosity. If you’re able to continue supporting us, we’d love that. And if you’d ever like to talk or learn more about what we’re doing, I’d be happy to share more.

Andy: Thanks so much, Logan. And thank you all for watching and supporting. There’s still time to give—check out the link below or in my bio. Thanks again, Logan!

Logan: Thank you! 

Andy: God bless.

Hey everyone, Andy here. 

I wanted to give you a quick update on what’s been going on lately — with our family, with Cornerstone, and with finances. Normally I save the financial updates for the end, but I’m actually going to start there today because a few important things have come up.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve fallen short in my giving, and last month I was about $1,000 short. When that starts to become a pattern, it raises concern. So, I want to ask for your help in four specific ways:

1. Give – You can give a one-time gift, start giving for the first time, or, if you already give monthly, I’d ask you to consider increasing your donation by 10–25%.

2. Tithe Your Tax Return – Tax returns are coming in, and this is something I’ve encouraged before with success. When your return arrives, I ask that you prayerfully consider tithing a portion of it to support the ministry.

3. Share – Please share the need with friends or family. You can do this verbally or by sharing this video or email. Getting the word out makes a big difference.

4. Pray – Most importantly, pray. I’ve found myself in tight spots before, and God has always come through. So I’m not panicking — I’m trusting God will provide again, as He always has.

Now for some personal updates. This Saturday, the 17th, I’ll be traveling to Cleveland, Ohio to stand before the Presbytery for my final oral examination as part of the ordination process. I’ll be preaching a sermon and answering questions, and I would really appreciate your prayers as I prepare and go through that experience. Lord willing, I’ll pass, and I’ll be sure to keep you updated on how everything goes.

At home, life is moving quickly! Ben is graduating from high school next month and will be heading to Pitt in the fall. Asher is wrapping up his freshman year at Allderdice and really enjoying it. Josh has started 7-on-7 football and is already getting ready for the upcoming football season; he’ll also be visiting colleges this summer, which is hard to believe. And then there’s Emily — the glue that holds everything together. She keeps all of us on track and manages the chaos of four boys with so much grace. Please keep her in your prayers, especially as the pace of life continues to pick up.

Over at Cornerstone, we’re getting ready to kick off our summer program, which we simply call Summerstone. It’s a student-led Bible study — laid-back, relational, and focused on helping students connect with Jesus and with one another. It’s one of our favorite times of the year, and I’d love for you to pray that it’s meaningful and impactful for everyone involved.

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and support us — whether through giving, praying, or just staying connected. I’m incredibly grateful for each one of you. For those who are already giving or planning to, thank you, and may God bless you richly for your generosity.

Meet the Students: Everett Harrington

Andy: Hey everybody. I am here with student leader Everett. So Everett, why don’t you tell everybody about yourself?

Everett: Hi! I’m a third-year student, and I’m currently a double major in Applied Mathematics and Music Composition.

Andy: Awesome. And how did you find out about Cornerstone?

Everett: It was my freshman year, and both my parents went to Pitt. My mom specifically had gone to Cornerstone, and she said, “If it’s still there, you should check it out.” My brother, Asher, and I were like, “I don’t know… school’s hard. Let’s settle in first.” Eventually, later that semester, she said, “All right, you’re going to go.” And I thought it was really cool. It was a very welcoming environment the first time we went.

Andy: That’s awesome. And thank you, Mama Harrington, for giving us your kids!

Everett: Yeah. Shoutout to Debbie.

Andy: So, what has Cornerstone meant to you?

Everett: The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Cornerstone is community. Like I said—the welcoming environment. I think we’ve done a really good job with invitation and just being a place where people feel like they belong. That’s something that’s really stood out to me and something I’ve seen grow during my time at Cornerstone.

Andy: That’s awesome. We’re so glad to have you in Cornerstone. Is there anything you’d like to say to my supporters, my friends who are watching this?

Everett: Thanks for all that you do. I think it’s really cool that we can continue to be a great organization for others—for outreach and invitation—because of you. So, thank you.

Andy: Well said. There’s still plenty of time to donate. The links will be in my bio and below. And thank you to Everett, and thank you all for watching!

Moore News (April 2025)

Hey everybody, Andy here!

I just wanted to give you a quick update on what’s going on with Cornerstone, the Moore household, and a little update on finances.

As many of you saw from a video I posted about a month ago, I went on a spring break trip to Wilmington, North Carolina with Habitat for Humanity. This was actually my fourth time going to Wilmington, and once again, we helped build low-income housing from the foundation up. It was a wonderful trip. We had about 20 students with us, and we had an absolute blast. There are honestly so many great stories I could share, but I’ll spare you a long video.

Actually, just yesterday, those 20 students came over to my place for an Easter meal. Since becoming the Habitat adviser, it's become a tradition for me to host an Easter meal for the students each year. This time, we went non-traditional and had a pasta bar! It was such a fun time of fellowship, great food, and community.

That said, this season is a bit bittersweet. I want to share some news with you: I'm stepping down as the adviser for Habitat for Humanity. It’s a role I’ve held for nearly 10 years, and it has meant so much to me. But with my upcoming ordination, I’ve felt the need to step away. It wasn’t an easy decision at all, because I love those students and the work deeply, but I do feel it’s time to move on.

The good news is that my coworker, Boaz Moser, will be taking over the adviser role. He’ll do a great job, and I’m excited to see where he takes the program.

Speaking of ordination, I’m happy to share that I’ve passed my written exams (praise the Lord!), and I’m now preparing for my oral exams. If all goes well, I hope to be officially ordained in late May or early June. Please keep me in your prayers for that!

As for the Moore household, things are mostly the same. Ben is getting ready to graduate in just a couple of months - hard to believe! - and then he’ll be heading to Pitt. Josh is starting to look at colleges this summer. He hasn’t made a final decision yet, but I’ll keep you posted once he does.

Now, a quick word on finances. Last month (March) wasn’t a strong month for giving - I was about $1,000 short. Thankfully, because of your past generosity, my ministry account is in a good place and there's no need to worry. But I did want to be transparent and make you aware.

If you're able and feel led to give - whether it’s a one-time donation or a monthly gift - every bit helps and is deeply appreciated. You can find the giving links below or in my bio.

Thank you so much for supporting me, for praying for me, and for praying for students to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Please keep my family and the students in your prayers, especially over the summer.

Thank you all so much, and God bless you!

Meet the Students - Rachel Dickerson

To Donate: https://ccojubilee.org/staff/amoore

Andy: Hey everybody, Andy here! I’m joined today by student leader Rachel. So Rachel, why don’t you tell everyone a little about yourself?

Rachel: Yeah, for sure! I’m Rachel Dickerson, a junior at Pitt. I’m majoring in Public Health and I’m originally from Dallas, Texas. I came all the way here because I’m also on the swim and dive team at Pitt. But more than that, the Lord led me to Cornerstone, and I’ve been really blessed to be part of that community.

Andy: That’s awesome! How did you first hear about Cornerstone?

Rachel: So, funny story—during O-Week (orientation week), I was walking around campus with my family and some Cornerstone alumni were handing out water bottles. I grabbed one, drank all the water, but kept the empty bottle on my desk… for like four months! Eventually, I looked at it one day and thought, “You know what, maybe this is a sign.” So I checked it out—and I’ve been coming ever since!

Andy: That’s great! I’m glad to hear the water bottles still work. What would you say Cornerstone has meant to you?

Rachel: Cornerstone has honestly meant everything to me. It’s been my biggest support system while I’ve been here. They’ve given me a family. Everyone here is like my closest people. Every time I walk in, it feels like home. I could rave about it forever—it’s truly become a huge part of my life.

Andy: I love that. And is there anything you’d like to say to the supporters who are listening right now?

Rachel: Absolutely! To Andy’s supporters—thank you so much. Your support not only helps Andy, but it helps students like me. I wouldn’t be here without you. I’m a leader in Cornerstone’s O.P.S. (Outreach, Prayer, and Service) program, and because of your generosity, I get to reach out to others and help grow this community. Andy has been an incredible mentor to me and so many others. So truly, thank you for all that you do!

Andy: Thank you, Rachel. And thank you to everyone who’s watched or listened to this. There’s still time to donate—I'll drop the links in my bio or below. Thank you all so much!

Financial Update (March 2025)

To Donate: https://ccojubilee.org/staff/amoore

Hey everybody,

I just want to give a quick update on how we’re doing financially. In short, last month was wonderful! I can’t thank you all enough for your generosity, kindness, and the way you sacrificially give. Truly, I can’t thank you enough.

We made more than double what we needed last month—praise God! But we’re still not quite out of the woods yet and could still use some financial help. There are multiple ways you can support us:

1. Give – You can give monthly, or you can give a one-time gift. Any gift is a good gift!
2. Share – You can share my need with your friends and family, or even share this social media post.
3. Tithe Your Tax Return – I know it’s still early to think about your tax return, but you could always tithe a portion of it to help us.
4. Pray – Pray that God would provide—not just financially, but also spiritually for the students at Pitt.

Again, I thank you all so much for your generosity and kindness. God bless!
