Andy: Hey everybody, Andy here! I’m joined today by one of our student leaders, Asher Harrington. Asher, why don’t you introduce yourself?

Asher: Hi, I’m Asher! I’m a junior here at Pitt, studying psychology and statistics. I’m also on the worship team for Cornerstone.

Andy: Awesome! So, Asher, how did you first hear about Cornerstone?

Asher: I actually found out about Cornerstone during my first semester. I was going through a pretty dark time and hadn’t found a community that felt right for me. I knew I wanted to connect with a faith-based group, so I reached out to my parents for advice. My mom told me, “Hey, I used to go to Cornerstone about 30 years ago!” So, I decided to check it out. When I went, I was welcomed with open arms—and the rest is history!

Andy: That’s such a great story! Shoutout to Mrs. Harrington!

Asher: Yes, shoutout to my mom—the GOAT (Greatest of All Time)!

Andy: What would you say Cornerstone has meant to you?

Asher: For me, Cornerstone has been, first and foremost, a place to connect with people and build a strong sense of community. It’s also been hugely important for my faith. Before Cornerstone, my faith was okay, but being part of this community has really helped me develop my own identity in my faith and make it my own. It’s been such a significant part of my college experience.

Andy: That’s awesome to hear! Lastly, for my supporters/friends who are watching, is there anything you’d like to say to them?

Asher: Yes! I just want to say thank you for your continuous support. Your generosity is a big part of what allows me and so many others to attend Cornerstone every week and call it home. So, thank you!

Andy: Absolutely. And for anyone watching, there are still multiple ways to give—you can contribute through the campaign or through regular donations. The links will be below or in my bio. Thank you, Asher, and God bless!

Asher: Thank you, and God bless!

Andy:
Hey everybody, Andy here. I'm here with John who's going to be telling us a little bit about Cornerstone. So first, John, tell us about yourself.

John: Yeah, my name is John Darnall. I'm a rising junior Computer Engineering major from Coatsville, Pennsylvania. I've been with Cornerstone since my freshman year. Excited to be here.

Andy: And how did you hear about Cornerstone?

John: I was raised in a Christian Presbyterian household, so my parents have been involved with my home church. It happens that my home church is in the same denomination as Bellefield Presbyterian Church where Cornerstone is based out of. So, it was a very logical step as I was going to college to go to the EPC church that's right on campus. Turns out they had a college ministry, Cornerstone. The first day we visited the church, I was greeted by various students who were older than me. They invited me to Bible studies in large groups. It took a little while to come around as I was getting adjusted to college life, but I got plugged into a small group led by Andy with two other students. And from there, I continued to come, and I've been coming ever since.

Andy: Awesome. We're glad that you're in Cornerstone. So tell us, what has Cornerstone meant to you?

John: Well, the biggest thing is it's really kept me centered in college. I feel like it can be really easy to get lost in all of the academics and different friend groups you can find. And just Cornerstone has been that centering place that I always come back to. The people there are so loving and godly and have played such a large impact on my life. I would not be where I am today without Cornerstone, without a shadow of a doubt.

Andy: That's awesome. Thank you so much for sharing that. And is there anything you'd like to say to those watching?

John: Thank you so much for supporting this man right here. He is so awesome. As I mentioned, I've had the pleasure of being in a small group with him since my freshman year. I've gotten to know him, be mentored by him, and guided for these last three years, and I'm excited for the fourth year. I can call him both a mentor and a friend. He has had such a large impact on my life. And by supporting him, you are supporting students like me and the ministry itself. Thank you so much for that.

Andy: Thank you. And if you're interested in donating, we have a new campaign that will be going on, or the regular donation link which will be listed below. So, thank you, and God bless.

John: Thank you.
