About Us

Hear from our students

At Cornerstone, I am able to take courses at cheaper tuition rates than other colleges. Plus, the professors are very friendly and every class feels personal.

Daniel Gowaty CCV Student

I loved taking the Biblical Counseling course last semester. All-in-all, that was one of my favorite courses that I have taken.

Caedryn McKenna CCV Student

Professor Jay quickly became a favorite professor of mine for his similar sense of humor compared to mine, but also his love for helping others in cultivating their own sound theology.

Daniel Milam CCV Student

One of my favorite parts about CCV is the community. I am always excited to come to class because everyone is so friendly and I know my presence is appreciated.

John Velleco CCV Student

If you're on the fence about coming to Cornerstone, then I say just do it! You'll end up having a great time and coming out of it with a degree that will help you no matter what you go into.

A destination... or a stop along the way?

The benefits of earning an associate degree can include higher earning potential, better job security, as well as increased opportunity and vocational advancement. According to the United States Bureau and Labor and Statistics, people with associate degrees have better prospects for employment and earnings than those who have taken some college courses but haven’t received a degree.

Associate degrees are considered 2-year degrees though some students move faster or slower depending on what else is going on in their lives and how much time they want to devote to schoolwork. Generally, associate degrees require 60 credits of coursework, which translates to 20 college courses. That’s half the academic requirements of a bachelor’s degree.

CCV Associate's Degrees

Associate of Biblical Studies (A.B.S)

Now is the perfect time to further your education by studying the Bible. Whether you’re preparing to enter into ministry, missions, or simply desire to know God and His word more fully, our associate’s degree in biblical studies will help you become prepared. This degree option is designed for students who want two years of biblical education, along with the opportunity for specific concentrations with the addition of 12 elective credits.

The mission of the Associate of Theology program is to equip our students with the foundational knowledge of the Biblical and theological concepts they will need to work in the church or in ministry throughout the world and build the groundwork for the Bachelor of Theology program.

The pastoral ministry program is grounded in the authority of Scripture, placing a strong emphasis on developing faithful pastors who lead fruitful churches.

The pastoral ministry curriculum integrates Bible classes, general education courses, and degree core classes focused on the science and art of expository preaching alongside internship and practicum opportunities. The B.P.M. is designed to give students a chance to engage in local church leadership and development. All B.P.M. courses integrate principles of engagement in our present culture with knowledge of historic orthodoxy and practice.

The Religious Studies degree provides a flexible focus for a college degree that enables students to strengthen important skills such as communication, analysis, and problem-solving. The program is designed to accommodate transfer credits to and from a wide range of baccalaureate degrees through a broad range of interdisciplinary courses, while at the same time providing a focus on critical thinking, oral and written communication, problem-solving, and other skills. This program embraces a broad-based biblical education, and as its name suggests, does not focus on one specific major. Rather, students will accomplish an overarching degree program that covers a range of skills needed for success within many other degrees and careers.

A ministry information systems (MIS) degree prepares you for careers in the field of information technology (IT) as it applies to ministries, nonprofits, and organizations. This degree will focus on the intersection of organizational systems and technology, teaching you how to design, develop, and implement digital systems that meet the technology needs of churches and ministries.
