2001-2002 Annual Report

Heart for God A Personal Campus Cedarville’s faculty and staff demonstrate their heart for God and for students daily. They can be found walking alongside students, mentoring them, praying with them, and encouraging them. A Drive for Discipleship The college years are a key time for students to grow in God and His Word and help others to do the same. Because Cedarville University places such an emphasis on discipleship, this past year brought the creation of a new position—director of discipleship ministries—to help coordinate Bible study groups and accountability pairs on campus. To begin his role as Cedarville’s first director of discipleship ministries, Mark Irving selected 10 students to begin their own small group Bible studies on campus. The ten then each trained five to seven student leaders to replicate the study the following year. Fifty-three discipleship small group leaders were trained in the first year of this program. Guest speaker Dr. David Jeremiah used the Winter Enrichment Conference to teach the University family about “Facing the Giants in Your Life.” A Cedarville graduate, Jeremiah is the senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, Calif., and the Bible teacher on the radio program Turning Point .
