Ultimately, we desire to glorify God through faithful stewardship of all the students that He has entrusted to us as they go on to serve as Christian leaders in business, healthcare, ministry, and more." Leaders at Cedarville believe faithfulness to the authority of God's Word and a biblical worldview in every classroom, rigorous programs, and thriving campus life are key reasons for Cedarville's steady growth among its student body. According to Scott Van Loo ’98, Vice President for Enrollment Management, most incoming students chose Cedarville because of the University’s biblical worldview, the Bible minor built into every academic program, and the daily chapel service with dynamic worship and impactful teaching. “We’re an institution that is ‘for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ,’” said Van Loo. “Families and students are connecting with the values that make Cedarville distinctive.” CAMPUS NEWS 32 | Cedarville Magazine
