Cornerstone University is an inter-denominational,
Christ-centered university located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We
seek to enable individuals to apply unchanging biblical
principles in a rapidly changing world through both traditional
and adult undergraduate and graduate programs, Grand Rapids
Theological Seminary, Asia Baptist Theological Seminary and the
multi-faceted broadcast outreaches of Cornerstone University
Radio.
At Cornerstone, learning finds its fuel in Truth. And we believe
that all truth is God's Truth. It is as unchanging as God Himself
and is the only reliable anchor for intellectual pursuits. Here
you'll find true freedom to explore, question, investigate,
conceptualize and understand all of God's creation. We go to
great lengths to encourage our students to become leaders who
shape the culture around them—diving into the world with
passion, and finding God in the most curious places.
