visiting with your children or
friends and showing them your
plaque of remembrance and
sharing what God has done in
your life. Future students may
see your verse at the precise
moment when God knows they need it.
At $250 or more, not only will your gift
help provide a state-of-the-art facility for
generations to come, but also ensure the
same life-changing opportunities for future
generations that you experienced in chapel.
Regardless of whether you have
experienced chapel firsthand, we want
you to contribute to this exciting project.
For alumni giving anything, your name
will go on a donor wall to honor your gift.
Alumni who give a gift of $100 or more will
have their name placed on the donor wall
and receive a 9:55 commemorative coin to
remind them to pray for chapel every day.
For a gift of $250 or more, you will receive a
plaque of remembrance on a new Jeremiah
Chapel seat. For additional information
about other ways to support the chapel
renovation and expansion project, please
contact our Advancement Division at
1-888-233-2784.
Altogether, this renovation will cost
around $3 million. We are thankful to
announce that a $750,000 lead gift has
already been provided. Your investment to
help us complete the project is worthwhile
not because of the importance of the facility
itself, but because of the importance of what
takes place inside the facility.
MY PERSPECTIVE
Chapel will always be the heartbeat of
Cedarville University. Mondays when I stand
on the stage and look around at more than
3,000 students, faculty, and staff, I feel the
weight of the responsibility
the stewardship entrusted to
One day, I will stand before J
Christ and give account for ho
led these students. That’s one
reason I desire intentionality
with each of their 1,000 days on campus.
I pray that each chapel will guide the
one step deeper in commitment, to b
firmer in their faith, to repent of sin,
be good spouses and parents, and to li
a life for the glory of God in a world f
of chaos. In chapel, we deal with ete
matters. In this time of cultural confusio
must present compassionate conviction
continue to stand for the Word of God
the Testimony of Jesus Christ.
We need your help. Will you pray a

and expansion project? Will you inve
eternity, praying that future generations
see God move in a mighty way?
