A Heart for Giving: Connie Jenkins’ Mission to Equip the Next Generation for Christ

Connie Jenkins wears many hats — devoted follower of Christ, champion of women’s ministry, wife, mother, philanthropist, deer hunter, and trustee at Cedarville University. But above all, she is a woman on a mission to make a lasting impact for God’s Kingdom.

Connie’s unwavering dedication to Christian education and her well-earned title as Cedarville’s 2024 Honorary Alumna of the Year is celebrated on this episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast.

Though Connie officially joined the University’s Board of Trustees in 2021, her love for Cedarville started long before.

Her connection to the University began 20 years ago when she first met Joy White, Cedarville’s first lady, at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. That meeting left an impression, and years later, Joy and her husband, Cedarville President Dr. Thomas White, knew Connie would be the perfect addition to the board — someone whose passion for discipleship aligned with the heart of the University.

But Connie’s impact extends far beyond Cedarville. She and her husband, Bill, found success in the financial markets of Louisville, Kentucky — a blessing they never took for granted. Instead of holding onto their wealth, they embraced a calling to give it away for God’s glory. Their generosity has helped build churches, equip Christian leaders, and expand ministries that spread the Gospel.

Their giving journey began after 9/11, when Connie felt a deep conviction to do more for Christ. That calling led them to support their local church’s expansion, and from there, they sought out even greater Kingdom-building opportunities.

The Jenkins’ legacy now includes the Jenkins Center for the Christian Understanding of Islam at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the Spurgeon Center and Library at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Scharnberg Business and Communication Center at Cedarville.

Through their generosity, they have helped equip students, train pastors, and strengthen Christian education, all with the goal of shining the light of Christ to the nations.

Join us on this inspiring episode as Connie shares her heart for giving, her love for Cedarville, and the deep joy that comes from faithful obedience to God’s call.
