Start Ď㽶ֱ˛ĄStudent's Search for a New Church Home!
Friday, May 9, 2025
Cedarville University is privileged to care for the spiritual growth of thousands of students with an immense potential to impact the world for God's glory. We take this charge very seriously.
One way we help our students grow is by encouraging them to join early and invest deeply in a local church. During their 1000 Days at Cedarville, what takes place on our campus should not be their only opportunity for fellowship with the body of Christ. Chapel is an exciting and distinctive part of a Cedarville education, but it does not take the place of the local church.
Read today's post to learn more about local churches that students call home away from home.

How Important Is a University's Doctrinal Statement?
Friday, December 6, 2024
Like your local church, Christian colleges all have a statement of beliefs. As you research and visit different institutions with your student, how important is it to consider each college's doctrinal statement?
First, know that a doctrinal statement provides the general framework within which the university will be offering its education. It is a good idea to review the statements (most are posted online) to ensure you are comfortable with the direction. If you have questions about what you read, this is a great opportunity to involve your pastor to provide insights.
Second, ask Christian universities if their faculty sign the doctrinal statement as a condition of employment. Not all do. Knowing that faculty will be teaching in line with the institution's stated beliefs provides a point of accountability to you as a parent. Are you comfortable that the faculty at the university will uphold the beliefs that are most important to your family?
In today's post, you'll read about the importance of Cedarville's Doctrinal Statement and how it informs Cedarville's approach to Christ-centered higher education.
