Andy: Hey everybody, Andy here, and I’m with student leader Emily. Emily, why don’t you tell everyone a little about yourself?

Emily: Hi everyone! My name’s Emily. I’m a sophomore business student, and I serve on the Outreach, Prayer, and Service Team.

Andy: Awesome. And how did you hear about Cornerstone?

Emily: I heard about Cornerstone last year. My roommate and close friend Eliza came back to our dorm after the involvement fair and said, “You’ve got to check this group out!” We were so excited. I remember DM’ing the Instagram, and then we just showed up to the first Wednesday night—and we’ve been coming ever since.

Andy: Yeah, they’ve been to every large group since. It’s been awesome. What has Cornerstone meant to you?

Emily: It’s meant a lot to me. It’s been a place where I’ve met so many amazing people, and I’ve grown so close to God and in my relationship with Him.

Andy: That’s awesome. And lastly, is there anything you’d like to say to my supporters and friends?

Emily: Yes! I want to say thank you so much. Your support means so much to Cornerstone, and we’re able to do so much—not only within Cornerstone but also in the Pittsburgh community. It’s amazing to see.

Andy: Yes, thank you all so much. There’s still plenty of time to give. You can click the link below or in my bio. Thank you, Emily, for being willing to do this—and thank you all again.

Emily: Thank you!

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever." – 1 Chronicles 16:34

 

I am so thankful for you all. For your hearts, your kindness, and your willingness to walk alongside us in this journey of ministry. Every prayer you have lifted, every word of encouragement you have shared, every moment you have chosen to believe in this work has been a gift more precious than we can express. Your faithfulness sustains more than me; it sustains the lives touched by this ministry and the hope it carries.

 

As we approach the end of the year, I am beginning a new financial campaign to replenish my ministry account. My goal is to raise $5,000. This is not just about resources; it is about the shared passion we have to see lives encouraged, hearts strengthened, and hope renewed. This campaign will run from now until the end of the year, and it is my prayer that it will be an opportunity for those who are looking for a meaningful way to honor Thanksgiving, celebrate Christmas, or mark my birthday with intention and love.

 

Giving is a beautiful act. It is not measured by the size of the gift but by the love and thoughtfulness behind it. When you give, you are not just supporting a ministry; you are planting seeds of hope that blossom in ways we may never fully see. Your generosity is a testament to your compassion, your faith, and your desire to make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

 

I am thankful for you. Truly, deeply thankful. Your willingness to give blesses our lives, strengthens the ministry, and impacts the people we serve together. You are part of this journey in a way that is profound and eternal, and for that, we are endlessly grateful.

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

Josh: Yeah, sure! I’m a sophomore studying civil engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. I’m a student leader here and serve on the freshman ministry team. In my free time, I like hanging out with my roommates and throwing a frisbee around at Schenley Park.

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

Josh: My friend Nick actually told me about it. I was originally involved with Cru, but Nick kept inviting me to Cornerstone, and over time I just found more of a home here.

Andy: That’s great to hear. What would you say Cornerstone has meant to you personally?

Josh: Cornerstone has really given me a sense of community. It’s also helped me develop a personal relationship with God—something I didn’t really have before coming here.

Andy: That’s awesome, Josh. Lastly, is there anything you’d like to say to my friends and supporters out there?

Josh: Yeah, I just want to say thank you for supporting Andy and Cornerstone and everything we do. Through his ministry, I’ve been able to grow stronger in my faith, and I’ve seen him help others do the same. Your continued support really helps him share God’s word with people who need to hear it.

Andy: Thank you so much, Josh. And thank you to all of you for your generosity—there’s still plenty of time to give! You can click the link in my bio or below. Thanks again, Josh, and thank you all. God bless!

Hey everybody, Andy here.

I just want to apologize for not posting an update video in a while. Life’s been pretty hectic and busy, but I’m here now to share what’s going on with Cornerstone and in my life.

Cornerstone has been wonderful this semester. Our large group continues to enjoy homemade meals, and we’ve been studying the Beatitudes in Matthew 5, from the Sermon on the Mount. I had the privilege of speaking about “Blessed are those who mourn.” I went through John 11, the raising of Lazarus, highlighting how Jesus wept and showed empathy, but was also angry at death, showing that death was not meant to be a natural part of life. It was truly a blessing to share that message.

I’ve also been helping lead the freshman Bible study, where we’ve been doing a Theology 101 study. One of the participants is my son, Benjamin, who has been coming to Cornerstone and participating in the study. It’s been amazing to have him involved.

About a week ago, I had the opportunity to speak at a missions conference in Eaton, Colorado, at my wife Emily’s home church, Evangelical Free Church of Eaton. It was an honor and privilege. I spoke on Daniel 1, focusing on Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, and how they were being assimilated into Babylonian culture yet remembered who they were. I related this to challenges college students face today. It was meaningful to be at a church that has been so important to both Emily and me—it’s where Jesus brought Emily into my life. It was also wonderful to see friends and family while I was there.

Joshua is looking at colleges now. He’s narrowed it down to a few options and will be making a decision soon. I won’t reveal anything until he’s officially accepted. Please pray for him during his senior year as he finishes football; his team has been having a great season.

Asher is in his sophomore year at Allderdice and is thriving. He’s found a great group of friends and even started an esports club, which has been exciting for him.

Emily continues to excel as the Director of Communications at Haiti H2O. They’re currently in the middle of a pumpkin sale, so prayers for that would be appreciated.

Financially, things have been going well. I recently received a raise, which is wonderful, but it also means I need to raise more support. Raising finances is always challenging, but God has always provided, and I trust He always will.

If you feel led to donate, I’ll provide links below for both one-time and recurring gifts—any gift is a good gift. For those who already give, I ask you prayerfully consider increasing your gift by 10–25% to help cover financial needs, provide resources for students, or take students out to lunch.

I am incredibly grateful for your prayers, support, and generosity. God bless you richly for your partnership in Cornerstone and in my life.

Thank you so much for watching. God bless.

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

Eliza: Hi, I’m Eliza. I’m a sophomore nursing student, and I’m part of the worship leadership team.

Andy: She just recently joined our leadership, and we’re glad to have her here. How did you find out about Cornerstone?

Eliza: I was at the activities fair my freshman year. I was looking for a campus ministry when I came to college, and I met Josh Hamilton and our very own Savannah Lattanzi. They were really welcoming. Later that night, my roommate Emily and I sat down and decided to come to Cornerstone.

Andy: That’s awesome—we’re glad to have you. So, what would you say Cornerstone has meant to you?

Eliza: Cornerstone has been a very grounding community. It’s been great to meet people, build deeper relationships, and connect with others who share the same values.

Andy: That’s awesome. Lastly, is there anything you’d like to say to my friends and supporters out there?

Eliza: Yes—thank you so much for your consistent support. We really appreciate all that you do.

Andy: Hey everybody, Andy here, and I'm here with Nick, one of our student leaders. So Nick, why don't you tell everybody about yourself?

Nick: I'm a sophomore mechanical engineer, and I'm going to Cornerstone. This will be my second year, and I'm part of the Wednesday night team. We help plan and run our Wednesday night large groups at Cornerstone.

Andy: Yes, which is a lot of work actually. So Nick, how did you find out about Cornerstone?

Nick: When I first started at Pitt, I started coming to Bellefield for Sunday services. The first time I was in attendance, Andy introduced himself to me and said, “You should come check out Cornerstone.” I thought, “Well, I need to see if I have enough time to squeeze all this in.” But with a little more persuasion, I showed up. I've been going ever since because it was a blast.

Andy: Okay, awesome. And we're glad you came. So what would you say Cornerstone has meant to you?

Nick: It's really the thing I look forward to most each week. It's a way I can take a break from all the noise in my busy life. It allows me to refocus on God and my faith. A lot of that is through the strong community at Cornerstone. From day one, I felt very welcomed by all the upperclassmen. They really took me in. I feel like God has used those connections with people at Cornerstone to open me up and allow me to have deep conversations. I feel like that's strengthened my faith a lot.

Andy: That's awesome. And lastly, is there anything you’d like to say to my supporters and friends right now?

Nick: I really just thank Andy for leading me in the direction of Cornerstone. It's opened up a lot of things for me. I've started getting involved in freshman Bible study and discipleship groups because he initially got me introduced to Cornerstone. So thank you for opening that door.

Andy: I appreciate you, Nick. And there's still plenty of time to give—the links will be below or in my bio. Thank you all, and thank you Nick.

Nick: Thank you!

Andy: Bye.

Andy: Hey everybody, Andy here, and I'm here with Josh. So Josh, why don't you tell everybody about yourself?

Josh: My name is Josh. I'm currently a rising senior at Pitt. I'm a nursing student, and fun fact—I am from Las Vegas.

Andy: From Vegas! So Josh, how did you hear about Cornerstone?

Josh: I actually knew nothing about Pitt or Cornerstone until I got here. It was actually our water bottle handout that we have during Welcome Week. I was moving in on campus—it was a hot summer day—and luckily, there were these people handing out water bottles with information about campus ministry.

Andy: That's awesome. Glad you're here! So, what has Cornerstone meant to you?

Josh: I feel like Cornerstone is family, for sure. I grew up in one church back home and saw the same people every week. Coming out here, I was able to find that same kind of community—from my D-groups with Boaz and my roommate Andy, to my AOM (Area of Ministry), and all the friends I have here. It’s just family. We live life together, go through tough times like exams, procrastinate together, and break bread. It's been amazing.

Andy: That's awesome, that's awesome. And lastly, is there anything you'd like to say to my supporters and friends?

Josh: This guy’s pretty cool, so you should support him! And yeah—thank you guys so much for supporting him as you have been, and I hope that support continues.

Andy: Yes, and thank you so much. There’s still plenty of time to give—you can just click on the link below or in my bio. Thank you so much, and thank you, Josh! God bless.

Moore News (June 2025)

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.
