Beyond their teaching, our Bible faculty help the entire campus think biblically about its task. Through the Center for Biblical Integration, faculty across disciplines are equipped to reflect on how God’s Word informs their academic fields. Every tenured faculty member must articulate a biblical worldview and demonstrate how that worldview interacts with their discipline, documenting areas they must reject, redeem, or affirm based on the foundation of Scripture. Truth is not compartmentalized at Cedarville; it is applied across every field of study. THE VISION FOR CEDARVILLE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Cedarville Theological Seminary grows directly out of these convictions. We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We seek to train students who submit humbly and joyfully to God’s Word and who love Christ’s Church. We will train textdriven preachers and leaders who will proclaim Christ and serve His people well. We are intentionally evangelical and firmly rooted in the historic Christian faith. We affirm the Bible as God-breathed, authoritative, and sufficient. We hold to the historical truthfulness of Genesis, including a literal six-day creation, the reality of Adam and Eve, and marriage as one man and one woman in a complementary covenant relationship. We affirm humanity’s fall into sin and our universal need for redemption. We proclaim Christ crucified and risen: salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, grounded in His penal substitutionary atonement and bodily resurrection. We confess the blessed hope of His return as King, when He will reign and make all things new. We do not apologize for God, dilute the Gospel, or seek to make Christianity more acceptable to the spirit of the age. This message is precisely what our world, our nation, and our churches need. LOOKING AHEAD God’s Kingdom is vast, and Cedarville University is only one small part of it. We are grateful for faithful men and women serving Christ across denominations, institutions, and contexts. We count it a privilege to serve alongside them. Cedarville Theological Seminary represents the next faithful step in our mission to transform lives through academic excellence and intentional discipleship in submission to biblical authority. We desire to train generations of students who will stand firmly for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ, serving His Church as faithful stewards until King Jesus returns. Thomas White is President of Cedarville University. He earned his PhD in systematic theology from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Ask The President: HOW ARE CEDARVILLE’S SEMINARY PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO SERVE THE LOCAL CHURCH? The Master of Divinity is our most rigorous degree and will remain residential. Pastoral formation is more than the transfer of information; it’s benefited by mentorship, worship, community life, and supervised ministry alongside academic rigor. The master's-level curriculum includes intermediate Greek and Greek syntax, nine credits of Hebrew, and two years of Old Testament, New Testament, and systematic theology courses. This demanding program equips students with the tools necessary for a lifetime of faithful, Word-centered ministry. For those called to ministry later in life or already serving in local churches, relocation for residential study may not be feasible. The online Master of Theological Studies provides accessible theological training for pastors, elders, missionaries, staff members, and lay leaders who need biblical depth without stepping away from current responsibilities. The program combines academic instruction alongside partnerships with local churches to ensure theology remains connected to ministry practice with emphases in biblical counseling, biblical leadership, ministry, and worship and theology. 5
