Our Mission: Developing Christian Leaders through Lifelong Learning

The Center for Ministry prepares persons of faith to lead, sustains them across a lifetime of service, and invites them toward excellence in living out God’s call.  Spiritual formation shapes the Center’s work in continuing education and leadership development for laity and clergy of many denominations.  Created by the Mississippi Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church and Millsaps College, the Center is located on the Millsaps campus in Jackson, Mississippi.
