Center for Apologetics and Public Christianity
The Center for Biblical Apologetics and Public Christianity at
Cedarville University exists to prepare believers to engage culture
with the credible news of the Gospel grounded in God’s biblical
revelation of Himself. This center will be a visible example of the
core mission of the University by offering students resources and
opportunities to think deeply and biblically about the role of the
Christian in the public square, and the position of the Gospel in
the marketplace of ideas. The center also affords another avenue
by which a diversity of views can be presented and addressed
from a biblical perspective.
Center for Biblical Integration
The Center of Biblical Integration at Cedarville University
promotes biblical integration throughout curriculum, teaching, and
research for both the University and the evangelical community.
The center strives to be a resource for integrative study, teaching,
and service in drawing connections between a biblical and
theological foundation, academic disciplines, and topics of life.
The center also aids faculty members in their personal integration
efforts in their classrooms, academic research, or professional
field.
Cocurricular Opportunities
Several organizations exist campus wide, which assist in the
development of character and ministry skills. Many Bible faculty
serve as advisors for these organizations, and our students are
encouraged to take full advantage of them. For example:
Alpha Sigma
Alpha Sigma is an organization devoted to promoting critical
thinking through philosophical and theological inquiry into issues
central to the Christian worldview and our contemporary culture.
Career Opportunities
