From Our Students:
-
I chose Cedarville because of its thorough biblical training. Cedarville taught me how to read and interpret the biblical texts while also instilling in me a love for the triune God. I don't think there is a better program with better professors who take the Bible seriously and are actively involved in academic research while ministering to students and others.
Luke Brittan, MDiv ’21 
-
I wanted a program that is grounded in rich theology and would give me the tools and feedback necessary to lead music excellently. The program gives a strong theological foundation for why we sing and Whom we sing to while also providing training on how to implement that foundational knowledge into a local church or ministry context.
Ashlynn Robinette, Worship and Theology ’23 
-
I greatly enjoyed my studies through the master's in biblical leadership. The program provided a valuable mix of theology, business, and leadership that I’ve already found fruitful as I pursue vocational distinction with a Gospel purpose.
Stephen Schindler, Biblical Leadership ’21
