Spiritual Emphasis The College desires for each student to grow in his or her relationship with Christ. Consequently, students are urged to set aside a definite period each day for private devotions. Daily chapel services provide spiritual encour– agement and enrichment. Additionally, all students are required to attend church services regularly. Opportuni– ties for worship include the Cedarville College Fellow– ship, which meets in the College chapel, as well as numerous fundamental churches within easy driving distance ofCedarville. Spiritual growth is futiher encouraged through student prayer groups which meet regularly to pray for special needs. One day in Fall Quarter and one day in Spring Quarter is set aside as a "Day of Prayer," a time when the entire college family gathers to pray together. Students hear intematio11al61-lmow11 Christian speakers through the daily chapel program. Dr. Warren Wiersbe addressed the student body in 1996.
