Checked against cedarville.edu and the Common App application on October 17, 2026
What you write: One faith question, 10–100 words.
Cedarville is a Christian university and asks every applicant about their faith.
Your faith
10–100 words
Please tell us how you accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.
Cedarville invites you to engage with Romans 3:23, 6:23 and 10:9–10 if it helps.
How to approach it
- Pick one moment and stay there. Readers remember a scene, not a summary.
- Spend at least a third of the essay on what you thought and how you changed.
- Read it out loud. If a line doesn’t sound like you, it isn’t done yet.
