Cedarville University

Theological posture

Conservative evangelical

Not necessarily Reformed. Doctrinally conservative Baptist, fundamentalist and non-denominational schools with statements of faith on inerrancy and creation. They differ from the Westminster Standards on matters such as baptism, church government and eschatology. A good fit for families seeking a conservative education that is not strictly Reformed.

Doctrinal basis. Employees sign the doctrinal statement annually; it teaches a young-earth, six-day creation and a historic Adam, and codified a complementarian view of gender roles in 2014 (Cedarville; Christianity Today).
