The Synergy Initiative: Equipping Students to Plant Churches
Tuesday, March 21, 2023
In recent years, our nation has seen a dramatic decline in church attendance, and many churches have closed their doors for good. At Cedarville, we want to do something about this alarming trend. That’s why we were so excited this week to announce The Synergy Initiative, a new Center that will equip our students to invest their energies, talents, and efforts in planting, revitalizing, and multiplying churches. Students will have training and ministry opportunities while they are here, but the goal is to send them out after graduation in strategic and coordinated ways to make a difference for Christ in their local churches.
This is just one example of how Cedarville will prepare your student to make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ.
If your student has decided on Cedarville, be sure to pay your security deposit to secure his or her place for fall 2023!

Students Encouraged to Get Involved in a Local Church
Tuesday, March 14, 2023
Cedarville University is privileged to care for the spiritual growth of some of the best university-aged students on our planet. We take this charge very seriously.
One of the elements in the spiritual growth dynamic here at Cedarville is seeing to it, as best we are able, that each student connects with a local church. The years of their academic training could leave them separated from any type of effective fellowship with the body of Christ, except for what takes place within the boundaries of our campus. Chapel is exciting and distinctive to 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 a College's Graduation Rate Can Save You Money
Thursday, February 23, 2023
We all know students who started their four-year college journey… six years ago. Whether they are struggling to pass classes, basking in the learning experience, or simply switching their major too many times, their college education can quickly acquire an even larger price tag when eight semesters turn into 12.

At Cedarville, we make it a priority to help students graduate on time, saving them money but more importantly, allowing them to begin using their career to make an impact for Christ sooner. Today's post provides helpful information about graduation rates and what to consider as you compare college options.
