Why Cedarville?

Cedarville University, as an institution with a reputation of excellence and commitment to God's Word and its Author, occupies a special place in my heart. My time here taught me many spiritual truths and implanted in me several leadership qualities that I have utilized over and over. Not to mention the many people who invested in my life while I was here professionally and personally. In 2017 I told my pastor that the only reason for me to leave where God had landed us in Virginia, with a stable job, ministry opportunities, and family and friends, would be if God opened up a door for a place to do what I was doing in PA education at a Christian university like Cedarville. Be careful what you ask ... God may just answer your prayers in an incredible way so that He gets the glory!
