semester and 10 weeks during the summer. Auditions are held

OneVoice is an exciting volunteer choir and praise band that

is open to all students. They meet each week for rehearsal and

Selecting a Ministry

• Consider your interests. Select a ministry that allows you to

do something you enjoy.

• Consider your vocational goals. There are many ministries

that are directly related to the majors offered at Cedarville

University. A ministry related to your chosen field can help you

decide if you have made the right choice and in some cases

may lead to an internship, reference, or employment.

• Talk with upperclassmen. Find someone who has experience

in the ministry you are considering.

• Watch your email for ministry opportunities that will be

announced.

• Talk with the Christian Ministries staff in the Dixon Ministry

Center. They are available to answer questions you might

have.

Student Life

Cedarville seeks to maintain a culture that reflects the values

of the Kindom of Heaven and the spirit of Jesus Christ. Student

Life Programs are designed to support this kind of environment

and to contribute to each student’s growth intellectually, spiritually,

socially, and physically. In each of these areas, the University

recognizes the relevancy and authority of the Bible and accepts it

as the final authority for faith and practice. Core values that shape

the culture include love for God, love for neighbors, excellence in

effort, and integrity in conduct.

Spiritual Emphasis

The University desires that each student grow in their

relationship with Christ. Consequently, students are urged

to regularly practice spiritual disciplines including worship,

prayer, and Bible study. Daily chapel services provide spiritual

encouragement and enrichment. We ask students to maintain the

discipline of weekly corporate worship at a local church.

Spiritual growth is further encouraged through student prayer

groups that meet regularly to pray for special needs.

Community Covenant

Cedarville recognizes and values the Bible as an authoritative

guide for how Christians should live. It also recognizes that

God uses community and relationships with other believers to

encourage growth. The Cedarville family believes that behavior, as

individuals and as a community, should bring honor to God and

reflect obedience to His Word. At the beginning of each year, all

students are asked to affirm their desire to abide by the following

Community Covenant:

We are a community of believers accountable to one another,

called to reflect the character of Jesus Christ and to be obedient

to His Word. We will be faithful in our support for the local

church and in our practice of the spiritual disciplines. We will

practice biblical principles of encouragement, exhortation, and

reconciliation. We commit ourselves to integrity, kindness, purity,

and self-control. We commit ourselves to continual growth in

scholarship, leadership, and service.

Therefore, as a member of the Cedarville community, we

regularly affirm our commitment to the Cedarville Covenant:

We will love God and others, live with integrity, and pursue

excellence in all we do.

The student handbook,

The Cedarville Experience

, is designed

to help each student be successful academically, spiritually, and

socially. It includes specific prohibitions to behaviors that are either

sinful or harmful to this community, such as sexual immorality,

use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs, and racial or sexual

harassment. It also outlines some of the values that define and

shape the culture here, including a simple dress code that seeks

to remind students to dress and behave modestly and to take

their academic work seriously.
