Christian Ministries Selecting a Ministry All students participate in Christian ministries voluntarily. As a result of the large number ofministries available, deciding which way to serve can seem ove1whelming. In selecting a ministry, students should apply the following: 1) Consider your interests. Select a ministry that allows you to do something you enjoy. 2) Consider your vocational goals. There are many minish·ies that are directly related to the majors offered at Cedarville University. 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 experi– ence in the minist1y you are considering. 4) Talk with the Christianministries staffin the Dixon Ministty 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 instrnctions on how to get involved. Requirements 1) The Christian ministries program at Cedarville Univer– sity is a volunteer program. All students are encouraged to participate in Christian ministries on a regular basis during their university experience. 2) At the end of each quarter, students are asked to complete an "end of the quarter report" form. This form is used to record on each sh1dent's permanent file his or her current area ofminishy involvement. It should be completed even if a student has not been involved in a ministry. If a student is involved in a ministty outside the Division of Christian Ministries, it should also be reported on the "end of the quarter report." 3) University-owned transpmiation or mileage reimburse– ment is provided for those ministries approved through the Division of Christian Ministries. Through various work projects, the Cedarville 111inist1y team encourages the boys and girls at Joy Ra11ch i11 Virgi11ia.
