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, 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 Spring 2024 semester will begin Monday, January 29th, and continue through Saturday, May 11th,  including one week off for Spring Break.

Biblical Archaeology
-Larry Wallace, PHD-

Biblical Archeology is the study of a person, place or thing mentioned in the Bible and is accomplished by the excavation of sites and analysis of artifacts and other physical remains. This scientific method gives us Extra-Biblical evidence that supports our faith in the Holy Scriptures.
 
During this 10-week course we will explore the Lachish Reliefs, Bethlehem, the Tomb of Lazarus, the Pool of Siloam, the Pool of Bethesda, Mount Moriah (the 2nd Temple site), the City of David, the Soreg Stone and the Place of Trumpeting, and many more amazing finds that support our faith.
 
This course is for both new and longtime students of Scripture!

Apologetics I
-Peter Jensen, PHD-

Join us for an enlightening journey of faith and reason in our Apologetics class this spring semester!  Dive into the fascinating world of defending and articulating the Christian faith with confidence and clarity.
 
In this comprehensive course, you will explore the foundations of Apologetics, equipping yourself with powerful tools to engage in meaningful dialogues with skeptics and seekers alike. Discover how to address tough questions, dismantle doubts, and present compelling evidence for the truth of Christianity.
 
This class offers a balanced approach, combining rigorous scholarship with a heart for compassionate evangelism. Prepare to deepen your own faith and become a more effective ambassador for Christ.

A Survey of Zechariah
-John Stover, DMin-

The book of Zechariah is referred to by seminary professors and Bible scholars as the most messianic, the most truly apocalyptic and eschatological of all the Old Testament writings. Its messianic emphasis accounts for its frequent citations in the New Testament (there are some 41 citations or allusions to this
book in the New Testament books).
 
The postexilic prophet, Zechariah, was sent by God to exhort His people to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. The prophet’s words of encouragement focus on God’s future protection from the coming attacks by the Gentile nations in the end times, and on the fulfillment of God’s kingdom promises to His people, Israel. 
 
The predictions given by our sovereign God, over 2500 years ago, continue to be fulfilled today. The book of Zechariah is a reminder to God’s people of His faithfulness to keep His promises.
