Spirituality Milligan prides itself on being a Christian institution, educating people to relate their Christian faith to their culture and to exert a positive Christian influence on their environment. Outside of the academic program, there are many opportunities provided for students to develop their spiritual lives. All students are required to attend chapel services on Tuesday. This is a time when the entire campus comes together for corporate worship. The Spiritual Affairs Committee exists as o part of the Student Government to provide students with opportunities for Christian growth. This committee sponsors an informal Sunday night vespers service each week and I.C.U. (intensive care units) groups. I.C.U. groups are a combination Bible study, fellowship, and support groups for students, led by students. Collegiate Church offers students a regular Sunday morning worship service geared toward student concerns and needs, Collegiate Church also sponsors activities during the year, such as retreats and special services. Milligan strives to maintain an atmosphere conducive to spiritual growth and maintenance through dorm Bible studies, several Christian concerts and discipleship groups. As with any body, this effort is imperfect. As a result, there are many people on campus, students, faculty and administration alike, who are concerned about Christian committment, and how we, as an institution and as individuals, can impact our community and our world for our Lord.

ajipve One Another Friendships liave always been cause for celebration at Milligan College. The small family nature of the school itself creates an excellent source of opportunity for forming those special relationships of love and trust that everyone needs. Students have always taken advantage of these special opportunities, and a multitude of friendships are formed on campus each year. Milligan students have not found it difficult to obey God ' s command to us, and to love one another. On their own initiative, they seem to have developed a unique love for each other with little effort, no doubt because they have shared so much of their lives together. Of course, the most outstanding common denominator among Milligan Students is a love for Jesus Christ: what better foundation on which to build a lasting friendship? By the time each student is ready to leave Milligan ' s campus, he or she should be able to claim at least a small circle of close companions. Students can further celebrate that these companions are more than college buddies -they are friends who love at all times!
