New Home for Cornerstone Institute

For the past year Cornerstone Institute (formerly Cornerstone Christian College) has been actively seeking new premises. After much prayer, Cornerstone is pleased to announce that these new premises have been found; premises that a year ago Cornerstone Institute would not have dreamt about—the Brookside Building in Claremont.

The Brookside Building is located at 11 Lansdowne Road, within close walking distance of the Claremont train station and on a main taxi route from their previous location in the Cape Flats area.

Cornerstone moved during the June – July break, and reopens this week for the beginning of the second semester of on-site learning programmes (BA Honours in Psychology, Bachelor of Theology, Certificate in Christian Ministry and Certificate in Community Counselling), as well as the launch of a new distance learning programme (a Higher Certificate in Business Leadership). This move is very exciting for Cornerstone as they are looking forward to occupying the first two floors (about 2 000 square metres) of the building.

Although the move to the Brookside Building is a huge answer to prayer, Cornerstone Institute continues to request prayers as they continue their journey as an institution.

The Cornerstone Institute board of directors has taken the bold step of submitting an offer to purchase the entire building, which is about 9 000 square metres. The owner has approved the offer in principle, which was the basis for arranging a short-term lease of the smaller portion for the rest of this academic year.

Now trust is placed in God to provide the finances that are needed to complete the purchase of the building, thereby providing a secure home for Cornerstone for the foreseeable future.
