Dear Friend of <strong>Cornerstone</strong> University,<br />
Every aspect of our nation and communities is facing a continual onslaught seeking to undermine, if not eliminate,<br />
the influence of our <strong>Biblical</strong> faith. Amidst these hurricane-like cultural headwinds, <strong>Cornerstone</strong> University’s<br />
commitment to Christ, the Word of God, the gospel and our mission to educate influencers in the world for Jesus<br />
Christ remains unwavering.<br />
Since my July 2021 arrival to <strong>Cornerstone</strong>, many parents, pastors, teachers, ministry heads and community leaders<br />
throughout the region have expressed their great concern to me about the fraying moral fabric within our society<br />
and our most cherished Christian educational institutions and ministries.<br />
Recognizing this urgent moment, <strong>Cornerstone</strong> University has taken the bold and courageous step to publish three<br />
foundational documents that, in addition to The <strong>Cornerstone</strong> Confession, serve as a light and theological bulwark<br />
in these confused and dark times.<br />
Therefore, I invite you to read our Confession of Faith and our historic, recently published <strong>Cornerstone</strong> University<br />
and Board of Trustees–affirmed foundational <strong>Biblical</strong> commitments: The <strong>Cornerstone</strong> Christian Worldview;<br />
The <strong>Cornerstone</strong> Academic Vision; and The <strong>Cornerstone</strong> Beautiful Christian Community.<br />
<strong>Cornerstone</strong> faculty, staff and trustees embarked on an extensive, nine-month campus-wide collaboration to<br />
articulate our most essential <strong>Biblical</strong> foundations. These foundations are essential for the fulfillment of our<br />
mission—to educate influencers in the world for Jesus Christ—and for the holy and beautiful calling with which<br />
the LORD founded this institution 82 years ago.<br />
Please join us through your faithful prayer support in the beautiful opportunity to educate with the highest level<br />
of excellence tomorrow’s Christian influencers.<br />
Soli Deo Gloria.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Gerson Moreno-Riaño, Ph.D.<br />
President
