A Christian Worldview of Liberal Arts and the G.O.O.D. Life
The humanities are integral to Cornerstone’s liberal arts approach, exploring culture, literature, history, and philosophy through a Christian worldview, the core of our mission. Our G.O.O.D. Life foundations guide students in answering life’s biggest questions from a rich and relevant Biblical perspective:
-
- God: Who is God? What is His beauty, goodness and greatness?
- Others: What does it mean to live in a community with responsibility and grace?
- Ourselves: Who am I? What is the beauty and frailty of being human?
- Dual Citizenship: What is my role as a citizen of heaven and earth?
- Life: How do we live, know, and love the good life, valuing truth, beauty, and goodness?
These insights shape moral leaders grounded in the value of life in Jesus Christ, applied to industry and ministry. Developed by our renowned Christian worldview scholars, every student from first year to graduation will consider how to apply the G.O.O.D. Life principles in all they think, say, and do and how they can profoundly influence society for Jesus Christ.
