Discipleship Ministries

Discipleship Ministries oversees over 100 discipleship groups (called “d-groups”) that meet regularly for prayer, accountability, encouragement, and Bible study. Serve as small-group leader or be a member of the Discipleship Council (DC), which helps administer d-groups. Both are great ways to hone your leadership skills while encouraging spiritual growth on campus.

Student Leadership

Through the exploration of a biblical definition of leadership, Cedarville is intentional about equipping student leaders with the knowledge and skills to implement positive change through effective stewardship, influence, and service. All student leaders attend our annual CULEAD conference, that opens opportunities to serve the campus community and beyond.

Chapel

Our daily chapel services provide many opportunities to minister to the campus community. Students serve on tech crews and lead worship as part of chapel bands every day. Weekly, student-led chapels provide opportunities for students to plan and lead the services, including preaching opportunities for student chaplains.
