2014 ANNUAL REPORT

FROM THE PRESIDENT

PHOTO BY RYAN PRINS PHOTOGRAPHY

WHEN SOMEONE ASKS ME WHAT CORNERSTONE IS ALL ABOUT, I TELL THEM TWO THINGS: WE ARE UNAPOLOGETICALLY CHRISTCENTERED AND INTENTIONALLY STUDENT-FOCUSED. Our mission statement captures these same truths in one sentence: “We are a student-focused learning community where Jesus Christ is central.” But no sentence and no two words could explain just how much I love working at this enterprise, an enterprise that is committed to raising up the next generation of culturechangers for Jesus Christ. I love my job because I love this generation. This campus is so full of life when our students are here. Just walking down the sidewalk, I’ll see students rushing to class with piles of books, laughing with their friends at a funny picture they just took, and, more often than not, wrestling over cultural issues that demand a response. This generation embraces life, in the midst of its flaws and failures. They bring hope to a broken world with a heart for justice and the energy to take action. Whether we are organizing baseball trips to Cuba or building a garden on campus, everything we do is for our students. We see a trip to Cuba as an opportunity to expand our students’ worldview. We see a community garden as a chance for students to engage in sustainable agriculture

as stewards of God’s creation. We see the chapel we are building – not only as a beautiful architectural structure – but as a holy place of worship where students will meet with Jesus for generations to come. Thank you for your support of our students – for supporting who we are and what we do. Whether yours is a new interest in Cornerstone University or you are from generations of alum who have graduated from this institution, we are thankful you are part of the team. As you uncover a little bit of what’s happening here at CU, join me in praising God for his provision and pleasure over the work of our hands (Psalm 90:17).

Cornerstone Annual is a publication produced by the Marketing and Communications Office at Cornerstone University. Approximately 22,000 copies are distributed to friends of the university.

IDENTITY Cornerstone is a Christ-centered university with a passion for global influence through the transforming power of the gospel. MISSION We exist to empower men and women to excel as influencers in our world for Christ by offering a student-focused learning community where Jesus Christ is central. VISION We aspire to create a thriving community of fully devoted followers of Jesus in a spiritually contagious, academically excellent, richly resourced and culturally diverse learning environment that attracts outstanding students, faculty and staff who influence our world for Christ, his church and his kingdom.

Christ-centered universities such as Cornerstone are thriving academically and spiritually. But there’s a specter on the horizon that worries those of us involved in Christian higher education: There are fewer high school graduates in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the U.S. In fact, half of all private colleges in the U.S. experienced declining enrollment over the past two years. The demographic trends have created a bidding war for available students among private universities. Last year, the average “discount rate” at private universities—that is, the amount of tuition that colleges write off in order to recruit students—surpassed 46 percent. In other words, it’s a dog-eat-dog world in private higher education. So how are universities responding to these pressures? One approach is simply to keep lowering tuition rates to keep the students coming. The danger is that in their rush to outbid each other for students, private universities risk becoming financially unsustainable or compromising the quality of the education that they offer. At Cornerstone University, we understand that affordability is a huge issue for our students. We provide an outstanding education for the money, and we’re taking additional steps to address college affordability. Beginning this year, every academic program has a documented four-year plan that

will provide students with a path to timely graduation for that degree. We’re also developing summer online courses at discounted tuition rates to enable students to graduate in less than four years. Of course, affordability is directly related to the value of what is obtained. So we’re taking steps to strengthen the relevance and value of the education that we provide. For example, we’re developing new academic programs that are well suited for West Michigan’s entrepreneurial, high-tech, health care oriented economy—programs in key areas such as health professions, information systems and design. We’re also expanding our commitment to career preparation through the creation of a new Center for Career and Life Calling — under the leadership of our new dean, Jason Clayton. This center will prepare students for effective career or graduate school outcomes while also expanding employment opportunities for our graduates. Christian higher education has thrived for centuries, and I’m convinced that a market will always exist for the kind of education that Cornerstone University’s traditional undergraduate program provides: a Christ-centered, academicallyrigorous, transformational education based in the liberal arts and achieved through skilled, caring, and committed full-time professors. We’re committed to ensuring that Cornerstone provides such an education.

THE CORNERSTONE VIRTUE PROJECT

/gratitude/hospitality/self-discipline/

/faith/hope/love/ Cornerstone University students now receive more than a superb education, great social experiences and spiritual challenges. Thanks to a new initiative, students will walk away from Cornerstone with hands-on knowledge and hearts understanding what it means to live lives of virtue. The Cornerstone Virtue Project, an initiative of CU’s Institute of Christianity and Cultural Engagement (ICCE), is a collaborative project that weaves nine key virtues into every aspect of the university experience, from dorm life to coursework, from community service to sports. “We really want to make the point that students are going to be different people when they leave Cornerstone, not just in a vocational sense, but in their character,” said Dr. Matt Bonzo, creator and co-director of The Cornerstone Virtue Project. The idea has its genesis in Dr. Bonzo’s personal writing on the virtue of gratitude and his work with ICCE. “People are just starting to run with the idea,” he said. “In five years I hope we have a vital, healthy community that offers students all the resources they need to be living for Christ. I hope the project will have made a genuine difference to students who have walked on this campus.” The Cornerstone Virtue Project focuses on nine virtues: gratitude, hospitality, self-discipline, faith, hope, love, wisdom, courage and justice. The first three, called the invitational virtues, will be emphasized with first-year students. The second triad—the foundational virtues—is the focus for second- and third-year students. The final three, the extending virtues, are especially pertinent for fourth-year students.

B UILD A LIF E THAT MATTERS

The virtue project takes these nine virtues and makes its study and engagement intentional and clear. Academic courses will highlight certain virtues, such as philosophy classes highlighting the virtue of wisdom and wellness classes highlighting the virtue self-discipline. Chapels will emphasize a particular virtue each semester. Student Development will frame expectations not as rules to obey, but as virtues to cultivate. “These virtues are not just a set of categories—we’re approaching the virtues as how our lives are shaped by Christ and bear these markers,” said Dr. Gerald Longjohn, vice president for student development at Cornerstone. “We’re saying, here is how life is lived out. A Christian college community offers lots of ways to practice these virtues.” The project is seeping into the campus life in a myriad of ways during its first year. New landscaping makes the campus more welcoming; food service offers new ways to enhance the dining experience; and professors are integrating virtues into their lectures and classroom management. Resident assistant training focuses on the virtues, and even the use of space and lighting reflects a new attention to virtues such as hospitality. A new campus garden, the Virtue Garden, supplies food

“THESE VIRTUES ARE NOT JUST A SET OF CATEGORIES. WE’RE APPROACHING THE VIRTUES AS HOW OUR LIVES ARE SHAPED BY CHRIST AND BEAR THESE MARKERS. WE’RE SAYING, HERE IS HOW LIFE IS LIVED OUT. A CHRISTIAN COLLEGE COMMUNITY OFFERS LOTS OF WAYS TO PRACTICE THESE VIRTUES.”

to the dining commons, exhibiting virtues of hospitality, gratitude and even justice. The garden has provided more than 100 pounds of tomatoes, potatoes, squash, beans and herbs. “As we’ve started to talk about these virtues, we’ve started to notice the virtues playing out all over campus,” said Dr. Longjohn. “We ask ourselves how we teach these virtues, but also how do our practices as a university reflect them.” He is quick to use the example of the first day on campus for new students. In the past there were long lines for parents and students, lots of signatures, lots of details—with

a MacBook Pro for the student as a reward at the end. “But does that format embody the virtue of hospitality?” asked Dr. Longjohn. “We asked ourselves what the families coming in might feel. And we changed some things to make that first day more welcoming, more hospitable.” Dr. Longjohn admits that cultural change in a place like Cornerstone can be challenging, requiring both individuals and the institution to look at their practices and that repentance may be necessary in certain areas. But, he dreams of a campus community in which these virtues are built into

its character—part and parcel of the Cornerstone experience. He wants potential faculty members drawn to Cornerstone, alumni to look back fondly at their time here and companies saying that Cornerstone grads are their best workers. “Young adulthood is one of the most moldable times of life,” said Dr. Longjohn. “We want to foster the characteristics of the kingdom well— not just make these virtues something else to learn. We want students’ lives shaped and transformed by The Cornerstone Virtue Project and then have them take those virtues elsewhere.”

A NOT-SO-SECRET GARDEN

TAKE A WALK AROUND CORNERSTONE UNIVERSITY’S CAMPUS, AND YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF IN THE MIDST OF SOMETHING UNEXPECTED: A NOT-SO-SECRET GARDEN. Tucked behind a campus-owned house near Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, Cornerstone students, staff and faculty have been using about 1,200 square feet of land to help feed the campus. The garden, named the Virtue Garden, was started in May after Mike Edwardson (CU ‘13) agreed to oversee it. “There’s been a student desire for some kind of campus garden off and on over the years,” said Matt Bonzo, professor of philosophy at CU and director of Cornerstone’s Institute for Christianity and Cultural Engagement. “The biggest problem was that students aren’t here during the summer. Mike Edwardson said that he’d like to oversee it. At that point we kind

B UIL D A LIF E THAT MATTERS

of ran with it because he’s there over the summer.” With Edwardson, Cornerstone University land project manager, at the helm and his students and family volunteering, the garden flourished. During the summer, the campus has enjoyed fresh vegetables and herbs, including 100 pounds of potatoes, 125 pounds of tomatoes, 176 cucumbers, 67 summer squash and countless pounds of lettuce. “All the food that is grown is used by CU Food Service in the dining commons and catering events,” Edwardson said. “Any food that cannot be used by Food Service is available for purchase to CU students, staff and faculty.” Organizers hope the program thrives,

allowing the garden to become more than a place where food is produced. “The future of the Virtue Garden is exciting,” said Edwardson. “We hope to expand, not merely with the vegetable growing but with integrating the garden and the act of gardening into the campus as a whole. We also hope to expand the garden to include flowers and other native plants, and serve as a place of rest and gathering.” The garden is part of a bigger project on campus: The Land Project, which is a branch of ICCE “aimed at developing an imagination of land rooted in the Kingdom of God and its vision for flourishing.” For more information, visit www.cornerstone.edu/land-project.

WCSG: MORE THAN MUSIC, A HANDS-ON MINISTRY

BY AMELIA RHODES (CU ‘03)

The outreach of WCSG, Cornerstone University Radio, extends far beyond West Michigan. More than 400 listeners have traveled to several countries with WCSG to meet needs around the world.

SOME MIGHT THINK OF CORNERSTONE UNIVERSITY’S RADIO STATION, 91.3 WCSG, AS JUST PROVIDING ENCOURAGING MUSIC AND PROGRAMMING. HOWEVER, THE STATION IS SO MUCH MORE. WCSG and its listeners support the local community in practical, hands-on ways, such as providing over 2,000 books for Grand Rapids Public Schools, cleaning a veterans home, and stocking area food pantries. Many families participate together, using these programs to teach their children about

serving the community. Often, children make donations using their allowance or funds earned from collecting pop cans. “We’re humbled to see so many listeners take ownership by investing in the station they listen to day after day,” said Chris Lemke, executive director of Cornerstone University Radio. “That’s what listener-supported radio is truly about.” The station seeks to assist the underserved populations of the community. During the “Serving Seniors” drive benefitting the adult foster care program for Pine Rest, listeners donated more than 15,000 items. The program’s caregivers were moved to tears by the listeners’ generosity. One senior who received the items said, “When I get something like this, I pretend it’s my birthday and someone remembered. It makes me happy to know someone cares.” In October 2014, the station plans to

begin a year-long partnership with a local school. The station will provide the school with coats and boots, renovate a classroom and gather gift cards for teachers to use as incentives for their students. But, the outreach of WCSG extends far beyond the West Michigan community. Listeners support more than 2,000 children through Compassion International. More than 400 listeners have traveled with WCSG to countries around the world where they have built schools, met medical needs, delivered humanitarian goods and held VBS-type activities. Listeners, both local and out of town, can stay up-to-date on the station’s current outreach programs online at www.wcsg.org.

CU GRAD ON A FAST TRACK TO MEDICAL MISSIONS

BY KELLI B. SMITH

Ian Drobish, (CU’14), fell in love with medical missions while spending a summer working with a missionary doctor in Papua New Guinea.

AFTER THREE YEARS OF UNDERGRADUATE CLASSES AT CORNERSTONE UNIVERSITY, IAN DROBISH, 21, WAS READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP. Drobish received his undergrad diploma in pre-med with an emphasis in biology in May from CU. Three months later he entered Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine (MSU) in East Lansing to begin his preclinical classes. He will follow that up with two years at one of six MSU clinical campuses and then hopes to complete a residency in internal medicine or family practice. The Greenville, Mich., native opted to skip his last year of undergrad because he felt ready to enter medical school. After taking the MCAT, the Medical College Admission Test used to test skills and knowledge for medical school, he began receiving acceptance letters to multiple schools. “It’s the great equalizer,” said Drobish of the standardized test. “It doesn’t matter what school you go to for pre-

B UIL D A LIF E THAT MATTERS

med, you are judged by this test to get into medical school.” Drobish scored in the 92 percentile. “CU prepared me well,” he said. “My professors poured into me and really readied me for medical school.” Drobish, valedictorian of his high school class with an ACT score of 31, could have chosen to attend virtually any college he applied to. “I visited CU for Coach Kim Elders because I wanted to play basketball,” he said. “I just loved it when I visited. It felt welcoming. The academics were challenging. Everyone else in my family went to MSU for undergrad, but I wanted to be at CU.” He dug right into campus life his first year, living in Quincer and playing on the varsity basketball team. He also participated in Midnight Madness, intramural tournaments, served as a

student ambassador and worked as a teacher’s assistant in chemistry labs. He also served as a resident assistant for Crawford Hall on campus. During a summer trip to New Tribes Mission Medical Clinic in Papau New Guinea with a friend from Cornerstone, Drobish became excited about medical missions. “I would love to be on the frontlines of helping those who are hurting,” said Drobish, who worked alongside a doctor who treated five local villages. “I would love to do overseas medical missions. I want to serve those in underserved areas and share the love of Christ with them and see the world. It’s hard for people to hear the gospel if they are hurting physically.” To see a documentary on his trip to Papau New Guinea, go to: www.tinyurl. com/pkfoxrb.

HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS AT CORNERSTONE In an effort to meet the increasing demand in the health care field, Cornerstone University continues to add areas of study in the health care industry. Cornerstone University students majoring in health care programs develop foundational knowledge and analytical skills that equip them for successful careers in medical professions. Students can choose from a variety of rigorous, integrated programs in the following fields: • • •

• •

Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Science Exercise Science Pre-Physical Therapy Pre-Occupational Therapy Health Communication Health Sciences Pre-Dental Pre-Medical Pre-Pharmacy Pre-Veterinary

Students study with faculty who are actively involved in the scientific and medical community – like Dr. Nigel Crompton, who has published dozens of scientific papers and conducted cancer research at the Van Andel Research Institute. Or, Dr. Rob Keys, associate professor of science, who serves on the board of the AuSable Institute of Environmental Studies. Being near downtown Grand Rapids provides students with a multitude of internship opportunities and working experience in the 11 metropolitan-area hospitals. The area boasts Spectrum Health, ranked No. 3 in the state, and Mercy Health St. Mary’s Hospital, ranked No. 8. The Grand Rapids Medical Mile, only a few minutes from campus, provides a mile of health care facilities that includes Butterworth Hospital (which offers the only level I trauma center in West Michigan), the Fred and Lena Meijer Heart Center, the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital and the Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion.

EXPERIENCE. CULTURE. MEMORIES. One West Michigan campus. One group from China. One story involving thousands of pictures and personal experiences to impact a lifetime.

In July, 23 Chinese visitors (19 students, two moms, two teachers) arrived on campus to attend Cornerstone University’s first Life Success Camp. The purpose was to introduce them to American culture and to provide the high school students with tools to think about their future in terms of technology, globalization, diversity and ethics. “It was personally a great joy to see Chinese students arrive on campus and then to watch them happily acclimate to both our national and campus culture,” said Dr. Joe Stowell, president of Cornerstone University. “What a delight to be with them in a morning devotional and to spend time talking and laughing with them in our dining commons. It was a special treat to have them in our community. I’m already looking forward to next summer’s group of students!” In addition to the campers’ daily academic work, they were able to experience the local culture with trips to Chicago, Mackinac Island, a weekend with a host family, a visit to a Cornerstone professors’ farm and an encounter

B UIL D A LIF E THAT MATTERS

with a Michigan sand dune. The camp is part of a strategic plan providing opportunities for international students to study on CU’s campus and to introduce the campus community to people from around the world. “Cornerstone University is committed to providing crosscultural global experiences,” said Dr. Stowell. “Building productive international relationships is an important part of our success on this front. The Life Success Camp is a great step forward in advancing our vision by building trusted relationships with students and educational leaders in China. We would like to think that some of the students attending camp may even become Cornerstone students which would then expand the global nature of our academic community.” Other initiatives involving China include sending CU athletic teams to offer training camps, using resources of the Asia Biblical Theological Seminary to impact ministry in South East Asia, teaching English as a second language and sending CU students to study abroad. Forty-five Cornerstone personnel were directly involved

with the camp, meeting one of the university’s goals of introducing the campus to other cultures. The students were taught by 15 different faculty who engaged them with a variety of teaching methods ranging from lecture, to discussion, to experiential learning exercises. The Chinese students, ages 12-18, were active participants in their learning. It wasn’t always easy to communicate, though. Of the 23 people, seven spoke fluent English, seven could listen and communicate in English at a 50 percent level, while the other members of the group were learning some of their first aspects of a new language. The teaching focused on a student’s life and career preparation to include a never-ending pursuit of personal and professional growth and development. Planning for the 2015 Life Success China Camp is already underway.

BONES UNEARTH BIBLICAL TREASURE

Thousands of bones from the Hebrew Union College of Jerusalem are housed on the Cornerstone campus.

THE WELL-LIT BASEMENT ROOM IS SMALL, BUT THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY RESIDE THERE IN THE FORM OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ANIMAL BONES. STUDENTS BRUSH AWAY ANCIENT DIRT, STUDY THE BONES UNDER A DIGITAL MICROSCOPE, PHOTOGRAPH THEM, AND METICULOUSLY RECORD FINDINGS. 20

B UIL D A LIF E THAT MATTERS

Dr. Jonathan Greer, assistant professor of Old Testament at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, is what he calls “a steward” of the bones, which are on loan from the Hebrew Union College of Jerusalem. The bones are the property of the State of Israel, as are all antiquities unearthed in the country. Dr. Greer came by the bones via Dr. Brian Hesse, his mentor at Pennsylvania State University and renowned zooarchaeologist. A zooarchaeologist studies animal bones, Dr. Hesse specialized in applying the principles of the discipline to biblical questions. When Dr. Hesse died unexpectedly in 2011, the bones went to his protégé Greer— with agreement from Hebrew Union College—who brought them to GRTS when he was hired in 2012. The plastic tubs full of bones have found a home at the Hesse Memorial Archaeological Laboratory in a house located just across the parking lot from GRTS. The lab was created and is directed by Dr. Greer. “It’s important to study the bones to illuminate the ancient culture of biblical times,” said Dr. Greer. “The bones provide insight into diet, sacrificial practices, economy, and social structures.” But studying these bones is more than just illuminating facts. “Their study benefits students by helping them understand the Bible more clearly,” he said. “Study also

is an important statement that we here at GRTS care about entering the academic arena and contributing good scholarship.” The bones themselves—from small fragments to larger leg bones and skulls—were excavated from Tel Dan in northern Israel. Dan was one of two holy sites in Israel created by King Jeroboam after the division of the country following the death of Solomon. Dan was home to a temple that rivaled the one in Jerusalem. Greer has excavated at the site for a number of years and will be associate director of the excavation project in summer 2015. His primary work has been on material excavated from Area T—the temple area of the ancient city. Many bones in the collection are from Area T, though there are bones from throughout the area. Many are cow, sheep, or goat bones, with the occasional gazelle or bear bones and, very rarely, a pig bone. Some are blackened by fire, others show knife cuts likely from the skinning process. Each one tells a story that Dr. Greer and students hope to unearth. They study markings under a digital microscope that links to a laptop, as well as take photographs and use manuals for identification help. They can determine animal type, part of the skeleton, age, sex, and what the animal was used for, such as meat, wool or milk. Thanks to collaboration with Grand Valley State University and its specialized

equipment made available for use on the bones, Greer and students can learn what the animals ate and the region in which they lived. Dr. Greer’s goal is to continue Hesse’s work in analyzing the bones and writing up his findings. “I feel a great responsibility to study the bones and publish the findings,” he said. His work will be part of the Tel Dan excavation volumes— such volumes are published after most archaeological digs. Three volumes are already available, two more in the publication process, and several more planned. Dr. Greer dreams of more study rooms, a bigger display area, and even a lecture room in the house that is home to the bone lab; he’s looking for funding for such projects. He plans to host public lectures on topics related to biblical archaeology, and he welcomes tours by groups and individuals. “My goal is that details of all the bones will be published to help researchers,” said Dr. Greer. In the meantime, he studies each metatarsal, joint, fragment, and leg bone for clues to how animals who walked the earth between 5000 BC and roughly 732 BC spent their days, how they died, and what they can tell us about the land and life of ancient Israel.

Brandes and his assistants, Jannik Kvetney and Esben Justesen, have set up a workshop in the pole barn on the campus of Cornerstone University. Here, they will create and assemble the 27 by 17 foot stained glass windows that will bathe Christ Chapel in a rainbow of light. The original plan for Christ Chapel included large, clear windows. A philanthropist and friend of the university introduced Dr. Joe Stowell, president of Cornerstone University, to her friends Peter Brandes and his wife Maja Lisa Engelhardt. The couple are two of Denmark’s leading artists. The philanthropist recommended Brandes create stained glass windows for the chapel and offered to help secure funding for the project. “The gift of these windows is an unexpected blessing! Not only will the worship space be bathed in dramatic color, but the story of redemption that is told in the windows will be a constant reminder to all of us of God’s loving work on our behalf,” explained Dr. Stowell.

At Cornerstone University, our singular focus is to raise a new generation that is equipped, empowered and impassioned to influence the cultures of our world for Christ. Our students distinguish themselves in their callings and careers so that they can effectively bring the transformative values of the Kingdom to bear on their spheres of influence. Our entire university structure and programming is focused on this outcome. There is not a more worthy cause than to light an increasingly dark world with the transforming power of the gospel through this next generation. Three new construction projects relate directly to the success of our mission â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the building of a chapel, the expansion of our Media Division facilities and the expansion of our Music Division facilities. Please consider joining us in this venture! Visit www.cornerstone.edu/chapel-project to learn more about CU Influence and how you can help complete the funding for the new chapel.

A NEW TRACK FOR MISSION AVIATORS

BY SARAH HETH (CU ‘08)

Cornerstone has partnered with an established, accredited aviation school to provide opportunities for students called to Missions Aviation.

PHOTO COURTESY OF SMAT

AFTER 17 YEARS, CORNERSTONE HAS BROUGHT BACK A LONG-RETIRED PROGRAM: MISSIONS AVIATION. The major is a partnership with School of Missionary Aviation Technology (SMAT), an accredited school – something the previous major didn’t have – based in Ionia, Mich. “Historically, there’s always been a need for pilots, aviation mechanics and aircraft maintenance technicians in the mission field,” said Cornerstone University Provost Dr. Rick Ostrander. “There’s still significant need.” The major will give students the

tools they need to become an aviation mechanic focusing on missions. A student following this path would spend his or her first two years at Cornerstone, the third at SMAT, training in aircraft maintenance before returning to CU for the fourth year to finish the degree: a bachelor of science in missions aviation. “It’s a huge commitment,” said SMAT President and CEO Terry Yoder. “This is truly a calling that is placed upon the hearts of individuals. It does take a lot of work and a lot of time to reach that end goal of actually becoming a missionary pilot or mechanic in a thirdworld country.” Two students are enrolled this year, and though he doesn’t expect the numbers to be big, Ostrander said the type of students attracted to this major are just what CU is looking for.

“I think it will consistently attract a small cohort of rather committed students who feel called to contribute to missions through aviation … a group of students who tend to be spiritually mature, academically committed,” he said. The major is an addition fitting with the mission of CU, said Ostrander. “While we prepare students for a variety of careers, one of the main areas we seek to prepare students for is ministry,” he said. “We want to be a contributor to the global church. We’re committed to the global church and the globalization of Christianity. It fits with our historic mission as a university.”

BEYOND BASEBALL

The Cornerstone University baseball team ministered to Cuban nationals through sports ministry bringing close to 500 into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

BEING A MEMBER OF THE CORNERSTONE BASEBALL TEAM IS NOT JUST ABOUT THROWING, PITCHING, BATTING, OR FIELDING. IT’S BEYOND THAT. Cornerstone University Head Baseball Coach Dave Mitroff moved the team beyond baseball when he took a group of 42 student-athletes and staff to Havana, Cuba, last December. It culminated a process that started more than two years prior with Global Baseball, a non-profit evangelical ministry that uses baseball to lead people to Christ. “There is a revival going on in Cuba,” said Dave Grube, CU Athletic Director who went on the trip. “There were at least 500 people who made a commitment to Jesus Christ during baseball games, baseball clinics, home visitations, church meetings and oneon-one visits.” The team used the mission trip to impact the lives of the locals and take lessons learned into the next chapter of their personal lives.

B UIL D A LIF E THAT MATTERS

“The trip was life-changing for our players,” said Mitroff. “There are a lot of preconceived ideas when going on mission trips. Our young men got a wake-up call. Seeing the guys share their faith was definitely a highlight.” The CU squad, which was the largest group to ever travel with Global Baseball to Cuba, worked in small Cuban towns sharing their faith and conducting clinics on the local baseball fields. Split into groups of 10, the team visited house churches and shared the gospel amongst the community-style housing in Cuba. Local pastors traveled with the team and translated as they shared their faith. Team members prayed with multiple people who made first-time commitments to Jesus Christ after hearing the gospel. “I am really proud of our guys,” said Pete Millar, an assistant baseball coach. “Some of the best parts of the trip were the relationships they built away from our direct work —like going out and fishing with some of the locals.” Global Baseball and CU baseball are

working on the next trip to the very loving people of Cuba and the house churches. “I never really understood how fortunate we are here in America until I attended a house church service in a tiny house with 13 people,” said Josh Ruland, a CU baseball player on the trip. “There was no air conditioning, padded seats, or a stage for a praise band. We sat in plastic lawn chairs, sharing scripture and singing songs that were played through a TV. There was no pastor to deliver a stirring message, only a collection of God’s people. Despite their hardships, the Cuban people welcomed us with open arms and showed a great hunger for the Gospel. I will never forget this trip and I thank God for giving me this once-in-alifetime opportunity to spread His love in Cuba.” For more information about CU athletics, visit cugoldeneagles.com.

DEAR FRIEND OF CORNERSTONE, I am honored to join the Cornerstone University team and be a part of the mission â&#x20AC;&#x153;to empower men and women to excel as influencers in our world for Christâ&#x20AC;?. God has blessed Cornerstone University with growing enrollments and strong financial performance with which to build a stable foundation for ongoing fulfillment of the mission He has given. Cornerstone has adopted practices and policies to address the financial balance necessary to meet the affordability challenges facing the students and families we serve while carefully monitoring institutional expenses and the rising cost of providing a quality experience. Cornerstone University is committed to honoring Christ as we seek to prayerfully and carefully maintain that balance. God has graciously provided generous partners who share a passion for Christ-centered higher education. Cornerstone is very thankful for the support of these partners in funding scholarships, endowments, special projects, renovation, and new construction. More than $14 million has been committed by our partners to fund the new Christ Chapel which is currently under construction and scheduled for completion next summer. The goodness of God is evident at Cornerstone University. He continues to bless the pursuit of our vision to create a thriving community of fully devoted followers of Jesus in a spiritually contagious, academically excellent, richly resourced and culturally diverse learning environment that attracts students, faculty and staff who influence our world for Christ, his church and his kingdom. We give thanks for all He has done and look forward to what He is going to do at Cornerstone University.
