Cedarville has impacted me most by surrounding me with opportunities to grow in my knowledge of the Bible, whether it’s through Bible minor classes, chapel, or discipleship groups. My faith has not only grown here because of the encouraging community and life experiences, but also through increasing my knowledge of the Bible because of the resources Cedarville provides.

President's Chapel Series
Ears to Hear
In his sermon series, Dr. Thomas White, is walking the campus community through the parables of Jesus, challenging us to have ears that hear, hearts that receive, and lives that obey. Join us as we make much of Jesus and His powerful words this year.
Chapels have been the most meaningful part of my Cedarville experience. I have learned so many new things about God through solid preaching from different speakers.
Stewarding His Gifts
We are grateful for the gifts that God has given to Cedarville University, and we seek to steward them well — for His glory, not our own.
Record Enrollment
The fall, we experienced our 15th-consecutive record enrollment. Even as college enrollment across the nation declines, God is continuing to bring students to Cedarville who desire an excellent education grounded in biblical truth.
Cedarville Is Debt-Free!
We are humbled to share that as of this past spring, Cedarville was debt-free for the first time since we have financial records to verify. Being debt-free is an indicator that we are financially stable and that we are good stewards of the resources God has given to us.
New Residence Hall
To meet the demands of our growing student body, we announced plans to construct a new women’s 120-bed residence hall, to be completed for fall 2022. This facility will be built with funds from generous donors, without incurring any debt.
The most meaningful part of my Cedarville experience has been the community. The friends I have made during my time at Cedarville have given me unbelievable support, constant encouragement, and lasting memories.
