1994-1995 Cedarville College Annual Report

One of the questions most often asked by Cedarville alumni is, "Do you still have daily chapel?" T he chapel program is clearly a distinctive of Cedarville College. It's "family." It's daily. It's required. Each weekday morning at 10 a.m., students and faculty gather in the current chapel and in three satellite auditoriums for praise, worship, and learning from the Word of God. The annual Fall Bible, Winter Enrichment, and Spring Missions Conferences offer the addition of evening services at the beginning of each quarter. According to President Dixon, "Chapel is the heartbeat of a Christian college ." Committed to providing a quality chapel experience, he selects the chapel speakers, who range from missionaries and seminary deans to inner city workers and business leaders. Dr. Dixon delivers challenging messages and encourages spiritual growth during his Monday messages. The college family has outgrown the present chapel building. Because of our priorities and the value of a shared chapel experience, the College has committed to providing a new 3,400 seat chapel auditorium in The Ministry Center, currently under construction. The new chapel will be expandable to seat 4,000. Once again, the entire college family will be able to meet under one roof for chapel services with ample room for visitors and friends. The new auditorium will accommodate larger audiences for conferences, major concerts, artist series performances, and commencement.
