OUR MISSION
  • Cedarville University is a Christ-centered
    learning community equipping students for
    lifelong leadership and service through an
    education marked by excellence and grounded in
    biblical truth.

Titus 33-11
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient,
deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions
and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being
hated and hating one another. But when the
kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he
saved us, not because of righteous things we had
done, but because of his mercy.
Why?
5
He saved us through the washing of rebirth and
renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on
us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so
that, having been justified by his grace, we
might become heirs having the hope of eternal
life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want
you to stress these things, so that those who
have trusted in God may be careful to devote
themselves to doing what is good. These things
are excellent and profitable for everyone.  
How?

But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies
and arguments and quarrels about the law, because
these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a
divisive person once, and then warn him a second
time. After that, have nothing to do with him.
You may be sure that such a man is warped and
sinful he is self-condemned. Titus 33-11

Excellence
A college of excellence makes challenging
demands on students and instructors. It set
lofty goals and demands the great effort
necessary to achieve them. It stretches the
individual to the limit of his or her potential
and honors demonstrated excellence in all its
forms. It provides the discipline requisite for
an enriching experience, instilling life-long
pride and self-confidence in its
graduates. Hans F. Sennholz

The problem is not only to win souls but to
save minds. If you win the whole world and lose
the mind of the world, you will soon discover you
have not won the world. Indeed, it may turn out
you have actually lost the world. Charles
Habib Malik Former President United
Nations Assembly

We're the middle children of history, man. No
purpose or place. We have no Great War. No
Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual
war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've
all been raised on television to believe that one
day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and
rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly
learning that fact. Chuck Palahniuk The
Fight Club
You live in a deranged age, more deranged than
usual, because in spite of great scientific and
technological advances, man has not the faintest
idea of who he is and what he is
doing. Walker Percy Lost in the
Cosmos

We are turning out highly skilled barbarians
because we dont provide a framework of values to
young people who more and more are searching for
it. Steven Mueller, former

Well, I dont know that I can prescribe any
special subjects that could fit you for that
particular job but I can tell you this pick
out from the curriculum the hardest subjects you
can find, and I dont care what they are. On top
of this, add the hardest one on the electives
list and give to that program all the time and
effort you can muster. I wont promise you that
you will become a banker, but I am sure of one
thing when you are through there wont be a bank
in the country that wont be glad to hire you,
and youll probably end up becoming its
president. Dwight Morrow Financier,
Senator, Diplomat
