Faith in Serving
You'll soon discover what makes Milligan stand out from other schools. As our vision statement proclaims, Milligan is a place where Jesus Christ is exalted. We believe God has a unique plan for each of our lives -- for our hearts as well as our minds. Together we can form a new generation of Christian leaders who are intellectually and spiritually prepared to change lives and shape culture.
Milligan offers a vital and challenging spiritual life program where you will be strengthened and encouraged to live a vibrant Christian life. We are affiliated with the
independent Christian churches and churches of Christ, but our inter-denominational student body is diverse. As a student, you can broaden your faith through weekly chapels, convocations and vesper services. And you'll have plenty of opportunities to participate in or lead worship services, prayer groups and Bible studies.
