Dr. James Fryling teaches a number of chemistry courses and advises the pre-med majors. He loves teaching at Cornerstone University because it gives him the chance to help students grow in their relationship with God while also helping them to develop all their knowledge, skills and abilities to fulfill the plan God has for their lives. He feels it’s important that each of us give our best to God so the students in his classes have to be willing to work very hard to do well!
Personally, he’s a retired Air Force officer with a background in organic chemistry. Through the years he’s done a lot of work on pollutants.
He and his wife have five grown children and three grandchildren.
