About Cornerstone College & Seminary

In the late sixties, Dr. G. Albert Brown, Jr. had a vision of raising up pastors who are enthralled by the glory of God and devoted to the cause of Christ. As scores of students received the pastoral mentorship they needed, Dr. Brown’s ministry began to expand into the world of higher education, leading to the establishment of Cornerstone College & Seminary (CCS).

Now, Cornerstone continues in its original mission of equipping students to advance the cause of Christ. 

Why Choose Cornerstone College & Seminary?

Whether online or on-campus, being a student at CCS means you’re studying with a Christ‑centered institution committed to biblical faithfulness, academic excellence, and accessible, affordable training for real‑world ministry. CCS exists to equip men and women to advance the gospel—wherever God has placed them—through flexible online programs grounded in Scripture and shaped by experienced faculty.

More Than Credentials—Experienced Ministers Training the Next Generation for the Cause of Christ

CCS prepares pastors, counselors, teachers, missionaries, ministry leaders, and everyday disciples who love Christ, serve their communities, and pursue excellence in their calling. Our graduates step into churches, nonprofits, workplaces, and mission fields with a strong biblical foundation and a heart to make Christ known.

What began as a simple desire to provide faithful, accessible biblical training has grown into a national ministry. Cornerstone College & Seminary recognizes that the flexible and affordable nature of online theological education opens doors for men and women who are called to ministry but are unable to uproot their lives to attend a traditional campus.

Today, CCS offers a range of Christ‑centered online certificates and degree programs designed for students who need flexibility without sacrificing academic depth or biblical fidelity. CCS provides accessible pathways at the certificate, associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, all built on a commitment to Scripture and practical ministry preparation.

Small class sizes lead to personal interactions with the CCS faculty and students, creating a dynamic and engaging learning community. CCS students are bonded by a shared vision; even though each student is on a different path, all are answering God’s call.
