A vision for your life

Whether it's teaching, inventing, or writing, God has a vision for each student's life. And Milligan College is committed to helping students explore and develop their gifts and talents in order to fulfill that vision. We call it the servant-leader experience, and it drives everything we do.

The servant-leader experience spans four years at Milligan. In our Introduction to College and Calling class, first-year students participate in small group discussions about vocation and service. During the sophomore year, students are encouraged to focus specifically on their chosen vocation with the sophomore summit, special class nights, and residence life and spiritual life programs. Juniors apply their chosen vocation to the external world by engaging in community service with fellow students, faculty and staff members. The servant-leader experience culminates in a capstone course during the senior year, which helps students examine how Western culture has shaped the ways in which Christians understand and embody their faith and how they might respond to these challenges.

Through this series of experiences, we teach students what it means to be "called" to a life of service and help each student find a place as a servant doing His work.
