1.We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God.

Christian School PhilosophyThe educational philosophy of Cornerstone Christian School is based first upon the fact that the Holy Bible is the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God. It is our desire that all knowledge imparted to our students be based on and judged by scripture. As our students become versed in scripture and the precepts of God’s Word, it is the desire of Cornerstone Christian School that each one become born into a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through His free gift of salvation. We at Cornerstone Christian School believe that only through salvation can our students be openly led into the educational knowledge and spiritual discernment which will allow them to become true disciples of Jesus Christ, and thus discern His ultimate will for their life of service to Him. “But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.” John 16:13 (NIV) As our students grow in the faith and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, it is our desire that, through the joining together of their intellectual and spiritual knowledge, they will be able to fulfill the great commission as stated in the Gospel of Matthew, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:” Matthew 28:19-20a (KJV) Our responsibility to our student also extends to the areas of social development and character training. I Timothy 4:12 states, “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” (KJV) We believe that only through ministering to the whole child, mind, body and spirit, can we then train true witnesses to the community. It is our desire then, that our ministry will be to families locally, through our students, and, ultimately, to the entire world.
