1 Cedarville College The college program is designed to provide opportunities for students to develop balanced lives. The fundamental Biblical position establishes a conservative pat– tern for all activities and conduct. Students gain excellent practical experience in Christian service as they participate in musical groups; teach Sunday School classes; conduct hospital, mission, and jail services; teach Bible clubs; and serve on gospel teams. Involvement in the social and cultural experiences at Cedarville contributes to personal development and also provides outlets from the demands and pressures of college. Participation in one or more of the many campus student groups provides addi– tional opportunities for enrichment. Some of these groups sponsor banquets, con– certs, and other forms of cultural enjoyment. Our scenic 180-acre campus pro– vides students with ample room to relax, study and enjoy the fellowship of other Christian young people. Standards of Conduct Before any student is enrolled at Cedarville College, he must sign a statement signifying his willingness to adhere to the standards and regulations of the college.

All students are required to attend church services regularly. Chapel The students and faculty meet together each day for worship and fellowship in a chapel service. Every student is required to attend. Faculty members, visiting pas– tors, educators, evangelists, and missionaries serve as speakers for these pro– grams.
