I found that I was better prepared than most. But it was Cedarville's constant emphasis on spiritual growth that influenced me the greatest. God used the chapels, guest performers, ministries, and Bible courses to shape my life." - John Law, a 1989 mathematics and science education graduate, teaches high school science at Roanoke Valley Christian School in Roanoke, Virginia.
