Entrepreneurship offers a powerful platform in today’s global marketplace — not just for building businesses and generating profits, but more importantly, for fueling Kingdom impact. With this eternal perspective in view, entrepreneurship has become a quickly growing field at Cedarville University. While we first launched an entrepreneurship program back in 2013, no longer is entrepreneurship just a “minor.” It is a mindset on our campus. We are equipping students to use their God-given talents and creativity to develop solutions to the problems of our day. Why entrepreneurship? Because these new businesses, led by leaders on fire for Jesus Christ, are Kingdom ventures. That is Cedarville’s commitment: to equip graduates with excellence to advance the Gospel wherever God leads them. Our entrepreneurship students come from every major and discipline on campus, united by a desire to innovate and create new services and products. They find a need in the world and meet it. And as they create value, they build a platform, using their profits for Kingdomwork and boldly proclaiming God’s goodness to a world that desperately needs to hear it. In this issue of Cedarville Magazine, you’ll see the ways we are preparing these future market leaders through programs like the Cedarville University Entrepreneurship (CUE) organization and the business accelerator. You’ll look behind the scenes at an exciting campus event that gives students the chance to compete for funding for their startups. You’ll be encouraged by stories of Cedarville faculty and friends whose careers have been marked by deep reliance on the Lord’s guidance and a passion to use their business to advance the Gospel. And you’ll see examples of students who have successfully started businesses during their time at Cedarville! I hope these stories will encourage you that the Lord is raising up a generation of believers to serve Him in every industry and calling. Our students are learning to leverage their skills and creativity to bring glory to Christ in every venture and share the hope of the Gospel with a lost world.
