Our Philosophy
Cornerstone Academy is fully committed to a superior academic experience integrated with a consistent, Christian approach to learning. We also proclaim that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and that all subjects will be presented from a Biblical perspective, with the Scripture as the measuring rod of all truth. Along with academic standards, the goals of the school are to exalt Jesus Christ as students learn to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength; to love others as themselves; and to learn to serve God first, in all areas of life and in whatever vocation they are ultimately led. The staff at CA realizes their solemn responsibility before God in molding the life and character of each student in order to give a solid foundation for each student’s future.
- We believe that the Bible is the infallible, inerrant, verbally inspired Word of God and that it is, therefore, our final authority in matters of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Psalm 119:8)
- We believe in the eternally existing, triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, John 10:30, John 14:20, John 15:26)
- We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, where He now acts as mediator and advocate. (Matthew 16:16, Luke 1:34, Hebrews 4:15, John 5:1-9, 1 Peter 2:24, Luke 24:36-43, Acts 1:9-11)
- We believe in the personal imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His own, in His later return in power and glory with His own to reign in righteousness over the earth, and in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of the damnation. (Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Hebrews 9:28)
- We believe that heaven is the place of eternal blessedness for the saved and that hell is the place for eternal conscious punishment for the lost. (Revelation 20:11-21, John 5:28)
- We believe that regeneration is by the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables all believers to live godly lives. (John 16:7-8, 1 Corinthians 3:16)
- We believe that all believers are spiritually joined together by the Spirit of God into His Church of which Christ is the Head. (1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 20, 27, Ephesians 5:23, Colossians 1:18)
