Working with the conviction that differences among people diminish when they are employed in side-by-side work for a cause greater than themselves, Religious Life sponsored missions promote local and short-term mission opportunities for students, alumni, and friends of the college to be the hands and feet of God for the world. Annual mission opportunities are grounded in biblical study, integrated with theological discussion and reflection, and open to Centenary students and adults who desire to be a healing presence in the world.

Upcoming Mission Opportunities

Past Mission Experiences

On May 11, 2010, twenty-one Centenary students, staff, and alumni traveled to Dallas, TX to participate in a two-day mission for WillieBuild. The group helped build a Habitat House in memory of Willie Tichenor, younger brother of Centenary alumnus Taylor Tichenor (’09). During these two days, students put their love of neighbor into action as they installed windows, doors, siding, and shingles.

The dates for the Willie Build this year are May 10-12, 2011. Hope you can join us!

Other recent mission trips have involved lending a helping hand in the Bahamas; Mt. Sequoyah, Arkansas; Belize; Mexico; New Orleans; the Navajo Nations and Memphis, TN.
