1997-1998 Academic Catalog

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) Consider your interests. Select a ministry that allows you to do something you enjoy doing. 2) 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. 3) Talk with upperclassmen. Find someone who has been involved in the ministry you are considering. 4) Talk with the Christian ministries staff in the Dixon Ministry Center. The staff is available to answer questions you might have. 5) Attend meetings. There will be traveling team auditions and organizational meetings during the first two weeks of fall quarter. Watch carefully for instructions on how to get involved. Christian Ministries Requirements 1) The Christian ministries program at Cedarville College is a volunteer program. All students are encouraged to participate 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 quarter report" form. This form is used to record on each student's permanent file his ()r her current area of ministry 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 ministry outside the Division of Christian ministries, it should be reported on the "end of the quarter report." Many students apply skills from their academic majors in their missions e.\periences. Nursing major Kathy Petersen traveled to Togo, Africa, with Cedarvil/e's Missions lnvolve111e11t Service.
