Our Mission and Vision
At the heart of Cornerstone Baptist School is our mission to provide a Christ-centered, engaging learning environment that promotes both academic and spiritual growth. Our vision is steadfast: to lay a solid biblical foundation leading to lives that glorify God, equipping every child to grow in wisdom, both academically and spiritually. We see our students as tomorrow’s leaders—prepared to impact the world for Christ, rooted in faith, and excelling across their pursuits.
Educational Philosophy
Integrating Faith and Learning
At Cornerstone Baptist School, our educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that true education is centered on the teachings of Jesus Christ and the principles outlined in Scripture. We are committed to fostering an environment where students can grow academically, spiritually, and morally. Guided by 2 Timothy 3:16, which affirms that ‘All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,’ we integrate rigorous academics with a Christ-centered worldview. We encourage students to develop critical thinking skills and a love for learning, as stated in Proverbs 2:6: ‘For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.’ Our approach emphasizes the pursuit of excellence in all endeavors, striving to do everything as working for the Lord, not for human masters (Colossians 3:23). We apply biblical principles to all areas of life, believing that faith and learning are inseparable. We emphasize character development and community service, reflecting Ephesians 4:32 to ‘be kind and compassionate to one another.’ By nurturing both the mind and the spirit, we aim to prepare students to be compassionate, responsible, and wise individuals who honor God in all aspects of their lives.
Our Journey
A Brief History of Cornerstone Baptist School
Cornerstone Baptist School was founded in 2021 with a vision to provide a Christ-centered education that fosters both academic and spiritual growth. Initially established as a preschool, the school quickly expanded its educational offerings to include Pre-K through 8th grade. Located in Sedalia, MO, Cornerstone Baptist School has grown to become a beacon of faith-based education, dedicated to nurturing the next generation of leaders who are rooted in faith and committed to excellence.
Character Development
At Cornerstone Baptist School, character development is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. We believe that true education extends beyond academics to include the cultivation of moral and spiritual values. Guided by biblical principles, we strive to instill in our students the virtues of kindness, compassion, and integrity. Through community service projects and daily interactions, students learn the importance of serving others and making a positive impact in their communities. Our goal is to develop well-rounded individuals who honor God in all aspects of their lives.
Community service is integral to our approach, reflecting the teachings of Ephesians 4:32 to be kind and compassionate to one another. By engaging in service activities, students not only contribute to their communities but also develop a sense of responsibility and empathy. These experiences help shape their character, preparing them to be compassionate and responsible leaders who are equipped to make a difference in the world.
