1988-1989 Academic Catalog

10 The Campus Chapel Completed in 1976, this 1800-seat auditorium bears the name of James T. Jeremiah, the president who saw the college grow from 100 to 1200 students during his twenty-five years of service between 1953 and 1978. Its decor, blue and gold, mirrors the colors of the College and its cornerstone, with Revelation 1:9 instriced, bears its motto: "For the Word of God and the Testi– mony of Jesus Christ." A rare, three-console Allen digital organ, the only one of its kind in Southwestern Ohio, fills the chapel with music. A 10-foot Baldwin concert grand piano complements the organ. By its location at the center of the campus, the James T. Jer– emiah Chapel demonstrates the centrality of the daily chapel pro– gram in the life of the Cedarville College family. Coordinated by the president of the College, chapel services feature outstanding Christian speakers from all over the world and many walks of life. The president himself speaks most Monday mornings. The Stu– dent Government Association coordinates Friday morning ses– sions. Designed to encourage, edify, and challenge, chapel ser– vices, though required, are popular among the members of the college family, reflecting the quality of the speakers and relevence of the topics they address. The chapel also serves as the site for church services of the Cedarville Baptist Fellowship on Sunday mornings, Sunday eve– nings, and Wednesday evenings. Directed by the student-selected Advisory Seven, these well-attended services provide an alterna– tive for students who choose not to go off-campus to attend one of the churches in the area. Though the vice president for Christian ministries oversees the Fellowship and frequently speaks in the services, students often preach and teach in the Fellowship, shar– ing pertinent insights and gaining valuable experience.
