Andy Cornett

Andy’s aim is to follow Jesus in a life that passionately loves God and loves people. He and his wife, Robin, are parents to three awesome young adults. After college and marriage, Andy served in student ministries for fifteen years before being ordained in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. He has a MDiv (2009) and a DMin (2020) from Fuller Seminary and was a pastor for family ministries at Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church (Chattanooga, TN) for twelve years before he moved to Charlotte, NC to plant Trinity Forest Church in 2025

If Andy isn’t in his office or a local coffee shop (other office), he’s likely making dinner or out for a long run. Andy’s own great passion is to see students, families, and all people become life-long disciples of Jesus who shine like stars in this world. The church and the family are meant to work together for the sake of that mission, growing deeper in knowledge of who we are in Christ and spreading outward in love to those around us. It’s always an adventure—and never a waste (1 Cor. 15:58).
