Ministry Opportunities Cedarville University is dedicated to ministry involvement as a vital part of each student’s education and spiritual growth. Students are challenged to consider how their academic disciplines, interests, and abilities can be used to build relationships and share the Gospel with the people God intentionally places in their lives. Directed by the Associate Vice President for Christian Ministries and coordinated through 14 full-time staff members, Christian Ministries provides training and assistance to the hundreds of students who volunteer each year. Church Participation The New Testament picture of a Christian includes commitment to a local congregation of believers covenanted together around the study of the Word of God, the practice of believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and the proclamation of the Gospel (Matt. 26:26–29; 28:18–20; Eph. 4:1–6). The local church is God’s design for reaching the lost amongst the nations, growing His followers to spiritual maturity, providing for the needs of His children through fellowship, expressing love for God in worship, and meeting the needs of others through service (Matt. 16:13–20; 1 Cor. 12:12–28; Eph. 5:25–27). Therefore, we ask students to maintain the discipline of weekly corporate worship and service at a local evangelical church. Chapel Chapel is a defining part of the Cedarville campus experience. Chapel helps to build a sense of community at Cedarville University by providing a shared experience of worship, biblical teaching, testimonies, community, and prayer. While attendance is not required for graduate students unless otherwise noted by a particular degree program, they are welcome and encouraged to participate by attending chapel or viewing online (cedarville.edu/ chapel) as time allows.
