The Cornerstone Scripture Study is structured to meet the needs of beginners and of those more versed in the Bible. It is comprised of four approaches:

Questions for Personal Scripture Study each Week

Each week members are given a set of questions that relate to a passage of Scripture from the current study. The format of the study is designed to help develop a daily opportunity to spend time in Scripture. Each day ends with a life application question designed to lead members into reflection and prayer.       Sample Questions

Small Group Sharing

Each member of The Cornerstone is assigned to a small group and remains a part of this group for both semesters. Facilitators lead their small groups through the weekly questions and shared answers, generally nurturing a warm fellowship among the members of the group.

Lecture with Relevant Personal Application

Following the small group meetings, all of The Cornerstone members gather for a lecture by a teaching leader who weaves personal applications into the week’s study. This may also include historical and theological background. There is no question that the Word God spoke to His people of old remains equally vital and meaningful today.

Commentaries Written by Catholic Theologians

After The Cornerstone lecture has ended in prayer, the members are given a commentary prepared by a Catholic theologian. The commentary is the finishing touch, which seals and settles the passage.       Sample Commentary
