(All dates are subject to change.) New Center Opens Doors and Shines the Light Demonstrating Cedarville’s deep-rooted commitment to the authority of God’s Word, the University formally dedicated the Center for Biblical and Theological Studies (CBTS) on Friday, October 3. As part of the 2008 Homecoming festivities, the dedication attracted many alumni, friends, and donors to campus. The CBTS represents 10 years of thoughtful planning and a long-held dream to provide a home for the University’s biblical education department. In addition, The Cove, an academic enrichment center located on the second floor, serves students’ educational needs. The Center was intentionally designed to draw on natural light with a wall of glass windows in the atrium. “I am the light of the world,” a direct quote of Jesus from John 8:12, serves as the building’s theme. “The Bible is very clear about the power of the Word of God,” shared keynote speaker Dr. David Jeremiah ‘63, senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California. The classes taught inside the CBTS prepare students to communicate the power of God’s Word to the world. Dr. Jeremiah concluded his dedication address by asking, “Is there anything we have greater than the Bible? Is there anything greater than training young men and women and equipping them with the light of the world?” To view additional photos and learn more about the CBTS, visit www.cedarville.edu/cbts .
