The campaign provided funding for The Dixon Ministry Center, the 120,000 square foot, $15 million home for the new 3,400-seat Jeremiah Chapel, the Bolthouse Center for Music, and the Reese Center for Christian Ministries. A record number of alumni and other friends gave and made giving commitments during this campaign, the largest in Cedarville's history. With $2.4 million left to complete the campaign, Cedarville received a challenge from The Kresge Foundation. If the College could raise $1.9 million in gifts and commitments by December 31, 1996, the Foundation would grant the remaining $500,000. On the afternoon of December 31, the College was able to report to The Kresge Foundation that their challenge had been met and the campaign concluded. Dr. Martin Clark, Cedarville's vice president for development, stated, "Many have prayed faithfully and given generously during The Ministry Center Campaign. This marvelous new facility is already making a significant difference in the lives and learning of Cedarville students. I hope all who participated in the campaign rejoice in this victory and recognize their important role in preparing students to make an impact on their world for Jesus Christ."
