The campus ministry program attempts to provide experiences which explore the meaning of a life of faith for a college community. In addition, the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity is very active and the Midtown Project involves a large number of volunteers in a city-wide effort to rehabilitate this historic area of the city which has suffered greatly from drugs, violence and deteriorating housing. All of these experiences are meant to communicate an active understanding of the life of faith as it addresses crucial social needs. The campus ministry program at Millsaps has attracted national attention for its variety and effectiveness. In addition, the Episcopal Eucharist is celebrated each week on campus.
All campus ministry is strongly ecumenical.
We are pleased to currently have a member of the Order of the Living Word working on campus with Catholic students. The Office of the Chaplain serves as a liaison with churches, with The Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist Church, and with other denominations. Furthermore, a working relationship has been established with many community projects and agencies as vehicles for student involvement.
