Leadership Opportunities
Student Life Programs provides opportunities for students to
serve as leaders as well as providing leadership development
opportunities. CU LEAD is a holistic leadership development
program committed to assisting Cedarville University students in
not only understanding but establishing and developing a biblical
foundation for service-based leadership. CU LEAD is designed to
enhance the leadership ability of students by providing them with
a lens to view leadership and leadership opportunities. The core
of the CU LEAD program is the foundation of leadership, which is
defined by the following:
• Stewardship – We recognize that all of our gifts, abilities, and
talents are given to us from God, and we are responsible to
use them for His glory in the service of others. (1 Pet. 4:10)
• Influence – We recognize that true leadership is influence. We
all have influence and it is our privilege and responsibility to
influence others. We must lead like Jesus who did not have
a position in society but radically changed the world for the
Kingdom of God through his influence.
• Service – We recognize that true leadership is not a position
of honor or power but one of humility and service. (Heb. 13)
