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 90-minute classes each semester, following the posted schedule.

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 Fall 2024 begin the week of September 8 and continue through December 14. Any adjustment in class schedules for holidays or other circumstances will be addressed by each professor in class.

Systematic Theology I

*VIRTUAL ONLINE OFFERING*

As a serious seeker of divine wisdom or an occasional wanderer down the spiritual path of the
Christian faith, this class will show the beauty and wisdom behind God’s truths and learn its relevance to our lives.
You are invited to take a ride on this holy roller coaster journeying through the foundational truths of Christ’s church, and experiencing the awes and wonders of the Godhead, and then, comparing God’s attributes with the deceitful nature of Satan. Sign up today to embark on a transforming journey that promises to deepen your faith in God and His Word.
The goal of this 14-week course is to deepen the believer’s understanding and appreciation of God’s eternal Word.
Systematic Theology is the study of what the whole Bible teaches about God and Specific
Doctrines of the faith. Studying these doctrines provides a foundation for what we believe, our
philosophy of life, and forms our world view.

In this 14-week course, the student will learn foundational theological concepts that foster a
robust and cohesive understanding of Christian doctrine. Within this course we will look at
Bibliology (the Word of God), Theology Proper (the Doctrine of God), and Christology (the
Doctrine of Christ).

Old Testament Survey
- Peter Jensen,  Dedmin -

OT Survey offers a comprehensive overview of the structure, purpose, and significance of each book and section within the Old Testament. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the historical and theological context of the texts and their enduring relevance.

The course will also highlight how Jesus Christ is foreshadowed and revealed throughout the Old Testament, enriching the Christian faith and understanding of Scripture.
The course begins Monday, 9/23 with 90-minute sessions and offered on an alternating Monday/Saturday schedule.

Church History I
- Larry Wallace, PhD -

Discovering Spiritual Gifts
- Randy DeVaul, MA -

Have you ever wondered how the Church of Jesus grew into what it is today? This 14-week course
will address the timeline of the Church, from its inception to the Crusades in the 12th century.

We will hear the stories of the shepherds and John the Baptist as Jesus was announced from Heaven. Follow the Apostolic Age and the missionary ministry of Paul planting the initial churches in Asia Minor and Europe. Learn of the martyrs during the rise to power of the Catholic Church, the introduction of Islam, and the Crusades and how these events shaped today’s Church.


Every Christian is gifted with a spiritual gift at the time of salvation so he or she is equipped and
empowered to fulfill God’s Mission of reconciling others to Him.

There are 18 specific spiritual gifts identified in Scripture: 5 Miracle, 4 Enabling, and 9 Ministry/Team gifts. We will learn about and review each of the gifts with emphasis on the Ministry gifts for serving Jesus and others today. The course includes a “spiritual gifts survey” with discussion on how each gift, applied to each believer’s calling and unique purpose, is used to grow God’s Kingdom.
