What is CBI?

Cornerstone Bible Institute is for anyone who desires a deeper understanding of the Bible while developing a deeper walk with God. In an adult education setting, courses are designed to be at a college level without having to commit to full-time studies or great financial outlays. Students can take up to two classes a semester, each in a 90-minute block of time on Monday, Thursdays and/or Saturdays.

Since classes are college level, instruction is lecture style and includes outside reading, additional research, and periodic exams. Our goal is to make these classes financially and academically accessible while giving students greater levels of understanding of the Christian walk and life.

Classes for the Fall 2023 semester will begin Tuesday September 5th, through Saturday, December 16th,  including one week off for Thanksgiving.

Fruit of the Spirit
-Randy DeVaul, MA-

A 14-week study that focuses on God's provision for His children to be conformed into the image of His Son, Jesus - through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit plants and grows the seed of the fruit; the believer "fertilizes" the fruit so it can fully mature.

Each of the nine characteristics of the fruit will be discussed, backed with Biblical examples and practical life application.

Systematic Theology III
-Peter Jensen, PHD-

Theology--from the Greek theos, "god," and logia, "word" is the study of divine revelation in the Bible. We study theology because it provides a foundation for our philosophy and worldview, which in turn affects the heart, actions, and decisions in all situations. Topics this semester are Ecclesiology (The Church), Angeology (Angels & Demons | Spiritual Warfare), and Eschatology (The Last Things). Classes are Mondays, 6:30-8:00 PM & Saturdays, 9:30-11:00 AM.

Marriage and Family
-Joel Johns, MA-
-Peter Jensen, PHD-
-John Stover, DMIN-

While marriage has traditionally been revered as a cornerstone of stability and commitment, it is now confronted with a myriad of challenges that contribute to a rising divorce rate. When couples struggle to effectively express their needs, concerns, emotions and misunderstandings, and resentment can often build up and erode the foundation of the marital relationship.

This course is designed to provide believers with a biblical foundation to help them overcome the challenges placed upon them by the world, the flesh, and the devil. As Christians, we must never forget that God designed marriage to be an illustration of Christ's eternal love for His bride, the Church!

Matthew
-John Stover, DMin-

A central theme of the Old Testament is the coming of a great and glorious King who will establish His kingdom on the earth, sit on the throne of His father David in Jerusalem, and reign over His people, Israel, and all the earth.

In the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew introduces this great and glorious King as being none other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But if Jesus is truly this King, where’s the kingdom He has come to establish. And why is He not sitting on the throne of His father David, in Jerusalem, and ruling over Israel and all the earth?

This coming September, your Cornerstone Bible Institute, will offer a course titled Matthew: Gateway to the New Testament. This course is not just for the serious Bible student, but for all those who want to grow in their relationship with Jesus by understanding the fullness of the Person and Work of their Savior.
