2004-2005 Annual Report

14 For most of us, our friends and the memories we enjoy with them constitute our greatest treasures in life. Imagine the rich social environment created when 3,000 of the nation’s sharpest Christian young people gather on a beautiful campus in rural southwestern Ohio. Activity, excitement, and relationships blossom, resulting in the kinds of deep, transformational experiences found only in a residential collegiate setting. In 2004, the Student Life Division introduced a Community Covenant which expresses the foundation of a student’s personal Cedarville experience. This Covenant is a promise that students make to each other to develop qualities that reflect the character of Jesus Christ, and the Covenant forms the basis for mutual support and accountability. We covenant together to express our love for God through our obedience to the authority of His Word, our practice of spiritual disciplines, and regular expressions of worship and Christian service. We covenant together to express our love for others through acts of kindness, wholesome and uplifting speech, redemptive expressions of confrontation and forgiveness, merciful acts to those in need, and loving proclamation of the gospel.
