Athletic training is a ministry. Our Lord, Jesus Christ says the mark of a true leader is one who knows how to serve. Athletic training is about serving, and therefore a wonderful tool for ministry. The profession is full of persons dedicated to providing quality preventative, management and rehabilitative health care to those who are physically active. But, we don't punch a clock, we don't get our names announced over the public address system, and we may not even get a thank you for being the first one in and the last one to leave.
Athletic training is a real life illustration of the way the Christian life is to be lived.
Not for the glory of men, but for My sake, saith The Lord. At Cedarville University, we believe that students could go to many other places and get a good athletic training education. There ought to be something different about an athletic training education at a Christian school as compared to an athletic training education at a secular school. I believe the difference at Cedarville is the attitude of ministry. I welcome the opportunity to share our program with you in more detail.
