Introduction

to our training

Life-related, practical, accredited!

Training men and women to be mature and fruitful ‘whole of life’ disciples of Jesus Christ is our core mission strategy.  Since Cornerstone began in 1978, our training courses have proven to be powerful and transforming experiences for many people. 

Our courses are structured around the central aspects of our calling as disciples of Jesus ...

  • interpreting & applying the Bible today
  • developing authentic, life-deep spirituality
  • responding to contemporary challenges
  • developing practical missional skills

We draw on current scholarship and explore deeply the implications for personal and vocational life.  Mentors actively assist each student in their training and discipleship, helping them engage deeply and practically with the realities of Christian life and mission in our world today.  The outcomes develop a worldview and life that are becoming spiritually natural and naturally spiritual.
