Cam Arminio’s Full-Court Mission: More Than Just a Game 

At Cedarville University, Cam Arminio is known for helping students get ready for life after graduation. As the Associate Director of Career Services, he coaches them through résumé prep, mock interviews, and LinkedIn tips — all with the heart of someone who truly wants to see others succeed.  

From Day One to Day 1,000, Cam is in their corner. 

But there’s another side to Cam’s story — one that plays out on the basketball court. Listen to his encouraging interaction with the game on this week’s Cedarville Stories podcast. 

Cam has loved basketball his whole life. Back in high school, it was his identity. But when he became a Christian at 17, everything changed. What once took center stage became a way to serve something bigger. And today, he’s using that same game to point others to Christ through the Cedarville Basketball Ministry. 

Each Sunday during the school year, dozens of students gather to play. Some come for the love of the game, others are fueled by the adrenaline rush of competition — but all of them find more than they expected. At halftime, Cam and his group of student leaders pause to share something lasting: the message of Jesus. 

It’s not flashy. It’s not forced. It’s just real people connecting through a shared love for basketball and encountering something deeper along the way. 

During the week, those connections continue through Bible studies, as student leaders follow up with guys they’ve met on the court. The goal is simple: to reach young men who may not be ready for church pews but will show up to play. And once they’re there, to open a door to faith and friendship. 

Looking ahead, Cam has big plans. More events off campus. New ways to connect. And even a Global Outreach trip to the Czech Republic in 2026 — carrying on the legacy of Coach Don Callan by using basketball to share the Gospel overseas. 

For Cam and the team, it all comes down to this: meaningful competition, Gospel-centered outreach, and life-giving community. Because sometimes, the court is where the real ministry begins.
