While he does make many references to his love for \u201cthe Lord\u2019s chicken,\u201d you will also hear him pour out his heart for the local church and challenge us to look for ways to get involved in a church plant after we graduate from Cedarville. But in the meantime, as a Cedarville student, how do we prioritize getting involved in a church when we already benefit from chapel five days a week on top of discipleship groups, hall prayer nights, worship nights, and a Bible minor?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Find a Church!<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2131\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2131\" class=\"wp-image-2131 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-2.jpg?resize=700%2C525&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-2-scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C525&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-2-scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C188&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-2-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-2-scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C90&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-2-scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2131\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me and my sweet church friends at the church Christmas photo booth<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You will find that the first several Sundays of your first semester are probably going to be filled with church-hopping, as you go from church to church analyzing their worship, size, preaching, theology, and community. Finding a church takes longer for some people, and others may find a church they love during the first week! I can attest that there are MANY different biblically and theologically sound churches in the Cedarville area! Depending on your background with church, you may have specific preferences to different worship or preaching styles.

Each Sunday I walked into church (usually a few minutes late), headed up to the balcony, enjoyed the service and found encouragement from it, left the balcony, and walked out of the church. My strategy was to lay low, worship, listen, and get to Chuck\u2019s (the campus<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> dining hall) before the Sunday lunch rush.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I waited until my senior year to even meet people at the church I was faithfully attending! I joined a community group with a friend and slowly started to meet new people. My friends and I began sitting on the main floor of the auditorium to become more engaged and to get to know couples and families before and after the sermon. This has changed the way that I have viewed the importance of the church for college students! Don\u2019t wait until your senior year to leave the balcony, like I did! Dive right into your church and experience the joy that comes from personal fellowship with other believers.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Serve and Get Involved Using Your Hobbies and Talents!<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2132\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3-.jpg?resize=700%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3--scaled.jpg?resize=700%2C933&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3--scaled.jpg?resize=250%2C333&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3--scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3--scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3--scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3--scaled.jpg?resize=120%2C160&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3--scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Church-Blog-Photo-3--scaled.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Once I started meeting more people in my church, I began to start feeling convicted about my lack of service, contribution, and involvement. Our responsibility as Christians to serve in the church does not take a four-year pause during college, although we may temporarily be away from our home churches. I encourage you to go out of your way to find needs that you can meet! Whether that be in the sound booth, on stage leading worship, in the nursery or youth group or as a part-time administrative assistant in the church office, look for ways to combine your skills with things you enjoy and use them to serve in your church!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Romans 12:3-8 says that we all have different gifts and functions to add to the church.
