Moore News (June 2025)

 


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

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.

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.

Hey everyone, Andy here!

I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Advent and a Merry Christmas! Usually, I post these kinds of videos on the 30th of the month, but today, I’m sharing it on Giving Tuesday.

As you can see, I’m joined by my faithful companion, Olive, who’s right behind me. You might also catch a glimpse of my other dog, Opal, wandering through the background.

I wanted to share a few life updates with you:

Some of you may have already seen this on Facebook, shared by my mom, Brenda Moore. My parents are officially moving to Pittsburgh! They recently sold their house in Oak Hill and stayed with us for a bit while looking for a new home. I’m happy to share that they found a lovely little house in Glenshaw, which is only about 15 minutes from us!

This is a big transition for them, so your prayers are greatly appreciated. My wife, kids, and I are all thrilled to have them so close.

Speaking of my kids...

For a while now, I’ve been teasing you about where Ben, my son, would go to college. Well, the wait is over—Ben has officially enrolled at...
drumroll, please...
The University of Pittsburgh!

Yes, Ben is heading to Pitt. Some of you might wonder how I feel about this, considering I’ve been a lifelong West Virginia University (WVU) fan. I’ve been going to WVU football games since I was a kid, and “Country Roads” was one of the first songs I ever learned!

Here’s my response: While I’m a diehard Mountaineer fan, I am an even bigger Benjamin Moore fan. I love WVU sports, but I love my son so much more. I couldn’t be prouder of him and this decision.

It’s not a huge surprise since Ben is a bit of a homebody, but I’m thrilled he’ll be close to home. Plus, I have the incredible honor of being his campus minister next year. Please keep him in your prayers as he transitions from high school to college life.

Today is Giving Tuesday, and there are many ways you can give. Our campaign is still ongoing, so that’s one way to contribute. You can also donate through the usual methods—links will be provided below or in my bio.

I’m praying for all of you this Advent season and asking that God blesses you richly. Thank you for your continued love and support as we minister to college students.

Hey everyone! I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a quick update on what’s been happening with both Cornerstone and the Moore family.

First, Cornerstone. This past weekend, we took part in the CCO Western Pennsylvania Fall Retreat. This was actually our first time attending this particular retreat, held in Ligonier, PA. It was a fantastic experience, full of connection and fellowship. We enjoyed a mix of play, rest, and worship—everything you could hope for in a retreat. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect deeply with each other and with God, and we definitely plan to attend again in the future!

On the home front, things have been steady. Joshua recently had his first start as a wide receiver in a game against Pittsburgh powerhouse, Westinghouse. Unfortunately, on the first play, he took a hit to the head and ended up with a minor concussion. Thankfully, he’s recovering well, and his team is moving forward to States, where they’ll be playing Punxsutawney this Saturday. Please keep him in your prayers for a continued smooth recovery and a strong game.

Asher has been diving into Esports and is absolutely loving it! It’s a new adventure for him, and he’s enjoying every moment. Ben has officially submitted all his college applications, and now we’re eagerly awaiting responses. We’re hopeful and excited about what’s next for him!

I also want to express my deep gratitude for each of you. Thank you for your ongoing support—whether through financial contributions or prayer. Your encouragement, especially during challenging and joyful times, means so much to us, and I pray that God blesses each of you abundantly.

If you’d like to support us further, we’re aiming to raise $3,000 by Christmas. You can donate either through our usual giving platform or via the campaign link, both of which are included below (or in my bio).

Thank you all again, and may God richly bless each of you!

2020 June Newsletter

Student Testimony
Meet Aaron Meyer, a (now) senior who leads one of our Bible Studies at Cornerstone.  Listen to how God has been working in Aaron through the CCO and Cornerstone:



Financial Update




As you can see from the chart above, we did much better in May than in April. In May, we made $4,026. That is 88% of where we need to be. We are up 6%!  God provides!  We still need your help, however.  I would like to up that 88% to 100%.  I'm not sure I could reiterate it any better than how I have stated it over the past few months. Matthew 6:25-34 have been my "anthem" through these difficult times. Here is what I wrote:

Times are tough. Having a steady income can be tough. It is through these times of immense vulnerability, that we realize that we cannot do this by ourselves. That we need a faithful savior to rely on. Jesus Christ is that faithful savior. When everything around seems so inconstant, we have a God who is constant. We must rely on that. I know that these times of uncertainty have hit hard for some, and we have felt that as well. We are asking for your help now, more than ever. If you are interested in supporting us financially, please feel click on the link below. We must be reminded that God is a provider.

Consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."


God is Good!

Last month, I featured an interview with our youngest son, Asher. To keep in this tradition, I have decided to post an interview with our oldest son, Benjamin. Benjamin is our organized, rational son, who has an extremely sweet and generous side to him.  He is willing to do anything for his family. Listen to what he has to say:
