deAR FRIend oF cu:This annual reporT is our way of staying accountable to you as a vested partner in the strategic enterprise of preparing the next generation to engage the cultures of our world with the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ .

I’m glad to report that, in a tough economic climate and in spite of the rising costs of a quality college experience, we opened our doors last fall to an enrollment in our traditional undergrad division that was 250 above what we had projected in our five-year plan . We finished the year well in the black and are working on some long overdue remodeling projects, including the Dining Commons, the Gordon Music Building, Quincer Hall (which is being refitted back into a men’s residence), and a new Faculty Office Building to house our growing full-time faculty . We recently hired some excellent new faculty, and the academic profile and spiritual quality of these new profs will enable us to continue to meet our goal of providing a spiritually contagious and academically excellent education where our students can thrive as followers of Christ .

Grand Rapids Theological Seminary continues to attract outstanding students who are vocationally focused on Christ and His Church . We launched an online Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership program, and the highly successful Urban Cohort program continues to provide opportunities for urban leaders to upgrade their theological education .

Our Professional and Graduate Studies Division had another banner year in both enrollment and profitability as it continued to be one of West Michigan’s leading sources for adult education . This year we introduced our new Masters in Health Care .

WCSG and WaYfm continue to provide outstanding Christ-centered programming . I constantly hear great reports from many who have been blessed in specific ways by our programming and staff .

And, did I mention that our men’s basketball team brought home a National Championship this year?

Thank you for your partnership as a friend of Cornerstone University—whether you’re an alum, pastor, parent or donor (or all of the above) – your partnership contributes to all the good news in this annual report!

RedeemInG cultuReone of The greaT privileges of being a Christ-follower is the opportunity to be ‘fully present’ and ‘fully human’ in the world . God has founded Creation and then set all humans free to be culture-makers, but only those with a reconciled relationship to God understand that our context is always broader than this life and this world . The task of a Christian liberal arts university like Cornerstone is thus to help wed this Kingdom focus into all the spheres of knowledge and inquiry, with a sense of what is possible and what is meaningful in our Spirit-directed engagement with all the various cultures of the time and place in which we find ourselves . A university can only lay the groundwork, as the church has the central role in transforming culture, so we work to prepare thoughtful and courageous members of the Body of Christ, who see in their human activities and choices eternal significance and meaning . Hence, games and sports don’t serve as ends in themselves for the rush of competition or the ramification of victory; rather, a basketball team can be driven by love and compassion for a little boy who, though dying, loves his ‘big brothers’ on the team with unrestrained joy . Hence, a music festival filled with guitar riffs and crashing cymbals and screaming teenagers seeks to push past Dionysian frenzy and mindless entertainment by weaving a fabric of popular culture that speaks earnestly and candidly about the trials and God-centered hopes of a generation of young people . Hence, an installation of wall art can do more than augment the decorative scheme or create a buzz of aesthetic admiration, but can actually foster reflection and allusive wonder at God’s tenacious redemptive love . Hence, a professional program in an ‘economically booming’ industry can transcend the economic motive and ascend to the idea of helping the physically and mentally ill among us find just and thorough care . The work of redeeming culture is a vast enterprise, is God’s work in Christ, sustained through the Spirit, and embodied in us, as we reflect and act upon the wonderful vision of the Kingdom that He has given us . But it’s also a work that happens in small acts and decisions in myriad lives all over the world all the time . We’re proud, at Cornerstone, to be a part of this vast, ‘little by little’ work .

MarCh 15 was a Big Day for Cornerstone University . It was an even bigger day for men’s basketball head coach Kim Elders and his team . For Elders, that was the day he won his second national championship . For his players, that was the day that all their hard work and dedication paid off .

Cornerstone entered the NAIA Division II national tournament as the third-ranked team in the 32-team field, and from the first game of the tournament, proved that they were a force with which to be reckoned . The Golden Eagles dominated the first four teams they played by an average margin of victory of 27 points . That led them to the title game where they faced the defending champions, the University of Saint Francis .

Saint Francis proved to be a worthy opponent as they jumped out to an early lead, but senior forward Kelvin DeVries made his 309th career three-pointer to give the Golden Eagles the lead at halftime . Saint Francis battled fiercely in the second half, but junior guard Ronald Bates led Cornerstone to the win with 25 points and 12 rebounds .

For six of Cornerstone’s seniors, this was the game they had all been dreaming about—the payoff for a long road of blood, sweat and tears . This was a team that had been through its share of growing pains since they arrived on campus as freshman in 2007 . That was the year Coach Elders made one of the toughest decisions of his coaching career: the dismissal of two of his senior players and the suspension of another four .

The disciplinary actions taken by Elders left him with a team that lacked leadership and experience . He spent his time teaching his young players the game and system, and his efforts caused the team to grow together and play as a unit . It was this unit that had 34 wins this season and went undefeated on the newly-named “Coach E Court .”

“Ultimately, that [season] paid great dividends for us,” said Elders in a Grand Rapids Press article about the championship . If you ask anyone involved with the team, though, they’ll quickly tell you that there was more to this season than hard work and sacrifice . There was inspiration behind it as well .

The inspiration behind the national championship victory came from 8-year-old Johnny Teis . He and his brother Robbie were ball boys for Cornerstone during the 2009 and 2010 seasons . In May 2010, Johnny was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor . Immediately thereafter, the team dedicated its 2010-11 season to Johnny . As the basketball team marched through the season and the NAIA National Tournament, the players considered Johnny an angel on their shoulders . Even though he was weak and tired, Johnny insisted on being at as many games as possible, including the entire national tournament run .

On April 21, 2011, Johnny passed away, but not before witnessing the team he loved win the 2011 NAIA National Championship .

After winning the national championship game, Caleb Simons presented his Most Valuable Player trophy to Johnny, a gesture that was chronicled by media across the nation and touched the hearts of thousands .

Johnny was loved by each player and coach as well as the entire CU community . “We drew our inspiration from ‘Johnny the Brave,’” said Elders . “He displayed strength and character far beyond his years and was the catalyst that brought us together .”

Cornerstone’s men’s basketball team was a portrait of selflessness and sacrifice, and these traits ultimately paid off for them . The university encourages all students to follow this example as they impact the world for Christ .

Chyrisha Brown yearns (pictured left) to become a person of faith, a person of knowledge, and a health care worker who truly understands the people she helps .

When she learned about the Health Care Master of Business Administration program offered by Cornerstone University’s Professional and Graduate Studies program, she knew it was the place for her .

“I knew an M .B .A . would open a lot of doors and I knew I wanted to work in health care; then I heard about the program and talked to admissions counselor Leslie Iverson . It’s all falling together in a way no one could have structured,” said Brown . “What stands out are the program’s faith component and its cultural perspective .”

Grand Rapids, once known for furniture and automobile industries, is now known for its cutting-edge medical research facilities and innovative health care strategies and alliances . Cornerstone and its PGS program reach into Grand Rapids’ emerging medical culture thanks to the new Health Care M .B .A .

“We’ve been watching the Medical Mile in downtown Grand Rapids,” said Dr . Sandra Upton, Dean of Business Programs at PGS . (pictured top left; Karmen Low © 2010) “We conducted focus groups with Grand Rapids’ health care industry experts and asked about their needs now and in the future . They all said they need leaders .”

Cornerstone and PGS have spent the last year or two creating a program that meets that need for leaders . Upton has helped design classes and recruit teachers for the Health Care M .B .A . that began in February 2011 .

“This is a practitioner’s program . The health care industry told us what they wanted and we have created a program to answer that,” said Upton, who has taught in the PGS program since 1998 and came on as Dean in 2008 .

The program’s aim is two-fold: First is to provide leadership development for clinicians who want to expand their skills (doctors, nurses, lab technicians, etc .); second is to provide a health-care focus for those already trained in business leadership .

Chad Tuttle is executive director of Sunset Retirement Community and a long-time adjunct professor in the PGS business program . He helped develop the Health Care M .B .A . on a contract basis .

“One of the distinctives of this program is its emphasis on the industry itself . Each course is customized for the health care industry, which helps equip students specifically for it,” said Tuttle . “And we’re always talking about program content with health care officials to make sure we’re staying tailored to the industry .”

Business skills wiTh healTh Care foCus

The Health Care M .B .A . is an 18-month, 39-credit program that provides baseline business administration skills with a health-care focus .

Upton lauds the program’s global component . Each student must participate in a 10-day overseas trip to Central Europe, China or South Africa . Students participate in business meetings, visit hospitals, and attend cultural events to help them understand health-care issues affecting the larger world .

“I don’t know of any program in the area that makes global travel a requirement for its core curriculum,” said Upton .

Brown is excited about gaining global experience, eager to put her classroom knowledge into real-life action . Real-world experience is part of what drew her to the program .

“Global is exactly where it’s going,” said the 23-year-old . “I’ll get to apply the things I learn, and not just right outside my back door .”

As a leader in the health care industry, Tuttle is thrilled with the program . “There are lots of M .B .A . programs out there, but Cornerstone and PGS have spent much time finding out what is specifically needed in the workplace . I can point people toward a program such as this as the next step in their careers . And I know a lot of people in the industry who are thrilled as well .”

“Our vision for the Health Care M .B .A . very much mirrors Cornerstone’s vision to ‘Build a Life That Matters .’ We want to engage students to reach into the world for Christ,” said Upton . “The health care industry is changing dramatically, and it makes all kinds of sense to be part of that change .

She sees only growth for the program in the next five years as the health care industry expands and changes . Upton sees potential for a fully online program and continued collaboration between Cornerstone and the local health care field .

“What stands out are the program’s faith component and its cultural perspective.”[ ]

when she was CoMMissioneD to paint the biblical story, Bette Dickinson wasn’t sure she could handle such a large project . Now, her finished work, “What Breathes Beneath Our Story,” adorns the walls of the Wood Seminary building .

Dickinson began attending Grand Rapids Theological Seminary as a Master of Divinity student in the fall of 2008 after graduating from Western Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in art . While at WMU, she worked in student leadership for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship .

“It was through my involvement at Intervarsity that I felt a call towards ministry,” Dickinson said .

Dickinson’s passion to use her gifts led her to explore ways to integrate art and ministry . When the seminary began to look for ways to round out its theology through other forms of expression, Dickinson’s talents were recognized . She received the commission to create the painting in January 2010 . She immediately went to work researching and meeting with professors at GRTS to get a full grasp on the idea behind the piece .

The concept of the painting is to tell the biblical story of creation, fall, redemption and consummation . During the summer of 2010, Dickinson worked to complete the piece, which is a series of 19 clayboard panels with liquid acrylic and oil paints .

While she was working on the project, Dickinson went through times when she questioned herself, whether she was worthy to represent the Bible in this way, or if she was even capable of it . She quickly realized that this was more than just a piece of art and that she was not capable of completing it on her own . Dickinson knew that she needed God’s help . She said that with God’s calling comes his empowerment and that’s exactly what He did for her .

With God’s help, Dickinson was able to finish the painting, using her artistic gifts to provide another way to see God . “What Breathes Beneath Our Story” uses six panels to tell the creation story, followed by six panels depicting the Sabbath, the fall, the salvation of Israel, the crucifixion and resurrection, the rise of the Church and the final redemption . Dickinson said the last seven panels are an abstract representation of the consummation .

Dickinson is quick to point out that her work is not an exact representation of the Bible; rather, it is her own interpretation of the story . She intentionally left several of the paintings abstract so that each person can find their own interpretation of them .

The title of the work, “What Breathes Beneath Our Story,” is a reference to God, Dickinson said . In both Greek and Hebrew, the word for breathe and spirit are the same, and Dickinson used this to tell of how God is all throughout our story .

Dickinson’s artwork is an expression of the seminary’s theology, and she hopes that her painting will remind people to take time to see God in new ways . This commission was just the first step in helping the Church understand that art can be a crucial part of ministry, in explaining that there can be so much more to ministry and theology . Dickinson hopes that this will be the start of new things, that her painting will help people find new and creative ways to see God .

Dr . Michael Wittmer, professor of systematic theology at GRTS, said, “We hope that Bette’s painting will inspire other students to pursue the integration of theology and the arts .”

Seminary students are encouraged to take what they learn in the classroom and put it into action by serving and leading others . Students are taught to engage the culture of the world for Christ and follow Dickinson’s example by using their gifts and talents in whatever ministry they pursue for the glory of God .

Big TiCkeT fesTival, an event that reaches hundreds of people of all ages, is a result of the passion and faithfulness of Cornerstone alum Drew Spanding (CU ’04) . Years ago, Spanding had a desire to create an experience for families to feel and know the love of Christ . Over time, this desire grew into Michigan’s largest Christian music festival: Big Ticket Festival .

“God placed it on our hearts,” Drew said . He is now the Executive Director of the festival . The Big Ticket Festival includes over 100 bands, different speakers, extreme sports, a Kids Zone, and ministry and prayer tents . People of all ages and backgrounds gather together to encounter and celebrate Christ .

Drew says they are most passionate about, “Doing our best to celebrate God’s glory through seeing families and friends come together, people worshiping and hearts being moved to make covenant with God!”

For the third year now, Cornerstone University has had a unique opportunity to partner with Big Ticket Festival . Bob Sack, the executive director of marketing and communications at Cornerstone said, “It serves as a wonderful ministry .” Cornerstone is fulfilling their mission on campus and off campus, “to empower men and women to excel as influencers in our world for Christ .” The BTF is an important outreach for Cornerstone across Michigan .

During the festival, Cornerstone hosted a village that featured the CU Radio stations, WCSG and WaYfm, CU Admissions and CU Alumni, and included interactive games and free giveaways .

In February, the university hosted a “battle of the bands” competition during the winter homecoming festivities . Three CU student bands and three alumni bands competed for an opportunity to play at the Big Ticket Festival . Cities and Saints, a student band from Cornerstone, won the competition and played at the 2011 Festival .

Drew explained the importance of partnering with Cornerstone and the impact that it has had: “Cornerstone has such a strong connection with western Michigan and with our move to Ionia this year, Cornerstone has given us credibility and opened many doors .”

Big Ticket Festival moved their location from Gaylord, MI to Ionia, MI for the 2011 Festival . With the festival drawing people from hundreds of miles away, they were able to expand and allow more people to come .

Even though this event is entertaining with different activities, bands and speakers, the ultimate purpose is to reach out and allow the transforming power of Jesus to change people . Drew explained that Big Ticket comes from John 14:6: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life . No one comes to the Father except through me .”

“Jesus is our big ticket to a relationship with God,” he said .

Drew is personally grateful to serve in this ministry . “What better and greater opportunity than to have a three day party for Christ . It’s like a mini snapshot of heaven these three days .”

FInAncIAl InFoRmAtIonCornersTone universiTy reMains foCuseD on providing a student focused learning environment where Jesus Christ is central . One of the ways we achieve this is to fulfill our vision statement and provide a richly resourced environment for our students . This is definitely a challenge in today’s economic environment! Over the past few years, the Cornerstone Community has taken on this challenge and has worked diligently to evaluate our operating budget and re-double our efforts to assure that we are wisely spending the funds that have been entrusted to us . We have also been focused on strengthening our financial position to build a more solid foundation in which we can weather future economic storms . At the same time, we are well aware that the affordability of a college education is a significant concern for our students . In response to this, we are working diligently to preserve the current levels of institutional financial aid in our budget .

We have an amazing staff at Cornerstone University and based on their hard work and commitment to our mission, I am pleased to report that Cornerstone University ended our fiscal year in a healthy financial position . Our operating fund revenue increased over last year by 7.2% while our expenses increased only 2.3% . The continued improvement in our financial performance has allowed us to build our financial reserves, pursue our strategic initiatives, and invest in improvements across our campus . We thank God for his faithfulness as we pursue our mission to be richly resourced . These resources will assist us as we continue to provide a student focused learning environment where Jesus Christ is central .

GIVInG totAls:

The pasT year was an incredible experience as Cornerstone University completed its 70th year as an academic institution . In fitting style we celebrated great success in many of the areas of University life . In academics the Ancient Studies major has returned, Faculty continue to publish their work and teach in conferences across the map, over 20 different study abroad programs have been offered and students in free enterprise took home a regional championship for the second time . In athletics we celebrated season and conference championships in women’s soccer, track and field and men’s basketball which went on to win the NAIA National Championship . I never get tired of saying that!

The theater’s production of White Christmas still has people talking . Their performances of Tuck Everlasting, Proof and His Girl Friday were remarkable as well . Our choral and instrumental ensembles performed in over a dozen churches and venues and performances ranged from our University Chorale and Credo to our Symphonic Winds and CU Brass . Let us not forget about the significant performances of the contemporary Christian ensemble, Red Letter Edition, along with the worship and contemporary ensembles .

While those accomplishments are important CU exists to empower men and women to excel as influencers for Jesus Christ . We do that by offering a student

focused learning environment where Jesus Christ is central . Another strong enrollment year affirms our direction in that realm . In May we graduated 264 from CU undergraduate and graduate programs, GRTS and PGS new alumni to go and distinguish themselves in their chosen fields while being exemplary followers of Christ .

Specifically due to your gifts we were able to recruit 5 students from Grand Rapids, Chicago and Detroit who would not have been able to attend CU . We are encouraged at what we see God doing in our students and community .

In all of this we have worked very hard to steward God’s resources as effectively and efficiently as possible . Your generosity enables our students and community to grow and thrive in all areas . We could not do without you!

Our prayer in the coming year is that we can empower as many students as possible and with your help we will . Thank you for your continued thoughtfulness to our students!

“Thank you to all the donors who have been so

generous in their support of Cornerstone. Your gifts will have tangible effects on our

campus and students!”

hIllARY mAson, sophomoRe

“I am so incredibly thankful for the donors because I know what a tough time most people are having

economically, still they have a generous heart and are striving to help. It’s encouraging to see that

they are giving, knowing that God will provide or giving knowing

that God has blessed them.”

AlexIAnA stump, FReshmAn

“I am grateful for the donations because they help improve our wonderful campus, and because they provide an opportunity

to attend this school at less cost than if they hadn’t donated. [During the Student

phonathon] I enjoyed connecting with alumni because it helps me see how

graduates can actually use their Cornerstone degrees in their careers. It gives me hope for my own future, that I will be able to apply

my degree to a career, to make an impact on this world as a Follower of Christ.”
