ABOUT CCUS
HISTORY
Cornerstone was born in 1999 but in April
2000,
Cornerstone
Christian
University
and Seminary was incorporated as a Seminary and as a non-profit
corporation for the purpose of offering strictly Christian based
education.
Our goal
is strictly not to make money or we would be in the wrong business, but to
"serve others and help them fulfill their potential" in Christ.
The
trustee of Cornerstone established
Cornerstone
Christian
University
so that doctrinal differences that tear the Body of Christ apart should be
a thing of the past in order for God’s truth to be shared. This way one
may enroll and receive a Bible education regardless of one's religious
affiliation or educational background. Each lesson is individually
designed, monitored and graded, and online and distance learning students
can work at their own pace. Students are also given personal attention
throughout their program and beyond it, if needed.
CORNERSTONE'S NAME
The
name Cornerstone was chosen with the understanding that the principles and
the teaching of CCU be founded on Jesus Christ who is the Chief Cornerstone that builds
the house, as stated in (I Peter 2:6).
"Behold,
I lay in
Zion
a Chief Cornerstone, elect, precious and he who believes on Him will by no
means be put to shame.”
"The
stone which the builders rejected has become the Chief Cornerstone," verse.7.
Why should Christians be trained?
So
they can “Always be prepared to give an answer
To
everyone that asks them to give the reason for
The
hope that they have.” (I Peter 3:15 NIV)
Does the Bible ask Christians to study?
“Study
to show thyself approved unto God, a workman
That
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
The
word of truth.” (II Tim. 2:15 KJV)
How then should Christians study?
“For
precept must be upon precept, precept upon
Precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
And
there a little,” (Isa.28:10 NKJV).
What happens if we do these things?
Ephesians 4:12-13
gives us the answer to this question.
For
the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ Till we all come in the unity of
the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
By
studying the Word of God, you will be equipped for service in the
Kingdom
of
God
and you will also be ready to take the position in the Body of Christ to
which God has appointed you. You will be able to walk in unity with other
believers and you will be a vessel of honor to God that can rightly divide
the word of the truth.
YOUR
CHURCH NEEDS TO RAISE UP STRONG SPIRITUAL FUTURE LEADERSHIP
If you
want your church members to be strong in biblical understanding, you'll
need to promote and encourage education and training.
