SERVE Chapel | Justin Spann, Chapel Music Coordinator
Daily chapel is the heartbeat of the Cedarville experience. Students daily encounter
the truths of God’s Word as presented by our president, campus pastor, faculty and
renowned guest speakers from across the globe. Chapel is also a time of fellowship
and corporate worship. Students participate in chapel through special music, studentled worship bands, or other forms of creative expression. Student ministries including
OneVoice Gospel Choir, HeartSong, and Jubilate perform regularly, and our Student
Government Association (SGA) leads chapel on most Fridays.
If you are interested in auditioning for a studentled worship band, please plan to attend an
informational meeting in Dixon Ministry Center
(DMC) 164 on Wednesday, August 22 at 8:45
p.m., following the evening session of the Fall
Bible Conference. Auditions for chapel worship
involvement will be held August 25-26.

SERVE Discipleship Ministries | Mark Irving, Director
While community ministries focus on
outreach from campus, discipleship
ministries focuses primarily on “in-reach”
to campus through prayer groups and
small-group Bible studies. Led primarily
by upperclassmen, these groups meet
weekly throughout the school year
and seek to create an atmosphere for
spiritual growth through accountability,
prayer, study of God’s Word, and loving
community.
If you are interested in participating in
discipleship ministries, sign up in the
Stevens Student Center (SSC), from
September 4–6.
If you have questions or want more
information, contact Mark Irving,
director of discipleship ministries at
irvingm@cedarville.edu or the student
leader listed beside each group on the
next page.

Thank you for taking time to review the many ministry opportunities available to
you this year! Serving others is an essential part of the Cedarville experience. Each
week freshmen and sophomore students are asked to submit an online form listing
the church where they worshipped and one other spiritual formation activity. The
ministries listed in this brochure qualify for your spiritual formation involvement.
As followers of Christ, we are called to build relationships and share God’s love
with the people He has placed in our lives — from neighbors and co-workers to

local church, community outreach, short-term missions trip, or music ministry
opportunity! At Cedarville, we’re committed to helping you develop a Christcentered mind and preparing you to influence the world for Christ.
We are here to serve you. If you ever have questions or ideas, you are always
