A Bold, Biblical Approach to Geology
Friday, October 4, 2024
At Cedarville, we approach the study of geology differently from most universities — even ones that identify as "Christian." As with every program we offer, our geology program boldly acknowledges the Bible as the ultimate framework for research and study without sacrificing academic excellence. We are unashamed to adhere to a literal, six-day account of creation and recognize God as the Creator of all life. We are honored to be an Answers in Genesis preferred partner and an invited exhibitor at their annual college expo.

Students Encouraged to Get Involved in a Local Church
Monday, May 13, 2024
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.
