Selecting a Ministry All students participate in Christian ministries voluntar– ily. As a result of this and the large number of ministries available, deciding which way to serve can seem over– whelming. In selecting a ministry, students should apply the following: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Consider your interests. Select a ministry that allows you to do something you enjoy doing. Consider your vocational goals. There are many ministries that are directly related to the majors offered at Cedarville College. A Christian Ministry related to your chosen field can help you decide if you have made the right choice, and in some cases may lead to an internship, reference, or employment. Talk with upperclassmen. Find someone who has been involved in the ministry you are considering. Talk with the Christian Ministries staff located in the Ministry Center. The staff is available to answer any questions you might have. Attend meetings. There will be traveling team auditions and organizational meetings during the first two weeks of fall qua1ier. Watch carefully for instrnctions on how to get involved. Ministries Requirements 1) The Christian ministries program at Cedarville College is a volunteer program. All students are encouraged to paiiicipate in Christian ministries on a regular basis during their college experience. 2) At the end of each quarter, students must complete an "end of the quaiter report" form. This form is used to record on each student's permanent file his or her current area ofministry involvement. It should be com– pleted even if a student has not been involved in a ministry. 3) Any ministry approved or offered through the Division of Christian Ministries (or through your local church) qualifies as a Christian ministry. If a student is involved in a ministiy outside the Division ofChristian ministries, it should be reported on the "end of the quarter rep01i." Local churches offer 111a11y opportunities for students to make a diflere11ce i11 yo1111g lives.
