Last spring we broke ground on a $14 million facility that will be a visual, physical reminder of our commitment to biblical and theological studies, evangelism, youth ministry, missions, and discipleship. Planned to open for fall semester 2008, the Center for Biblical and Theological Studies will visually present the theme “I Am the Light of the World.” This theme will be seen through a variety of elements in the architectural design, including words of Scripture etched on the glass in the impressive atrium and commissioned artwork in reflective spaces. Another unique design feature will be the blending of the contemporary with the historical. This center will clearly convey the relevance of Scripture in today’s world, while affirming the historical significance of the Word of God. This concept will be highlighted with plasma screens featuring the continuous reading of Scripture alongside displays of ancient biblical texts. The Center for Biblical and Theological Studies promises to have a powerful impact in the lives of students and, as a result, in our churches and culture. Partner with us: www.cedarville.edu/cbts
