General Information OBJECTIVES OF CEDARVILLE COLLEGE 'I1he objectives of Cedarville College are two-fold: (1) those pertaining to our Christian faith, and (2) those pertaining to our relationships with this great land in which we are privileged to live. Regarding our Christian faith, Cedarville College stands firmly on the Old and New Testaments, verbally inspired, dis– pensationally and literally interpreted, and premillennially understood. We are a part of the stream of orthodox, historic, fundamental, conservative Christianity and share all of the great doctrines that have been surely believed among all true Bible– believing Christians from Paul's day to the present, and on which the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches is founded. The Lord Jesus Christ is the center of our entire College pro– gram, and it is the sincere desire of the Board of Trustees, Faculty, and Staff to exalt Him and give Him all the glory due His Name ' 'which is above every name." As the virgin-born, sinless, crucified, risen, coming, only begotten Son of the liv– ing God, He deserves first place in our entire College curriculum. It is the desire of Cedarville College to graduate students from its halls of learning with definite convictions relative to the great Bible truths that have been accepted by funda– mental Bible believers from the beginning of the Christian era. This living faith in a living Lord should be carried over into whatever field of endeavor the graduate of Cedarville College might undertake. Regarding our relationship with this great land in which we live, Cedarville College stands firmly on the Constitution of the United States, originally penned by free men in order to insure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity. We are of a firm belief that, though this document was written by fallible men, it stands as the greatest document of human liberty ever devised by mortal man. We offer in explanation of this the fact that our Constitution was founded upon the Bible 10 •
