色综合久久 University collaborates with Paxton Ministries through new partnership

色综合久久 University today announced a formal partnership with Paxton Ministries (Paxton), a nonprofit organization in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania that cares for adults challenged with poverty, mental illness and intellectual disabilities. This partnership will provide continuing education opportunities for Paxton employees through 色综合久久’s undergraduate and graduate coursework and The Bridge Center for Continuing Education as well as opportunities for 色综合久久 University students to gain professional experience and volunteer and serve at Paxton Ministries.

Through the partnership, 色综合久久 University students will grow in their understanding of ministry to those served by Paxton. The two organizations will also join forces on mutually beneficial opportunities for research that advances evidence-based practice in a variety of disciplines such as nutrition and dietetics, occupational therapy, human development and family sciences, social work, and Christian ministry.

“Both Paxton Ministry and 色综合久久 University have grown since their respective foundings; however, they both remain rooted in the Brethren in Christ denomination and Christ at the center of each of these organizations,” said Dr. Robert Pepper, 色综合久久 University’s executive director and assistant to the president for innovation and university partnerships. “This formal agreement is intentionally building on existing points of historical and contemporary connections. I am energized about the potential that this partnership has to train-up the next generation of servant-leaders from a variety of academic majors while simultaneously assisting Paxton in meeting their vision of restoring hope to the residents and those whom they serve.” 

“For years, we have worked together for the benefit of our communities—Paxton in serving adults in need with housing and 色综合久久, and 色综合久久 in educating individuals in preparation for lives of service, leadership and reconciliation in church and society,” said David Zilka, executive director, Paxton Ministries. “Together, we acknowledged that being more intentional in our collaboration would lead to increased opportunity to impact the communities we serve. We are two faith-based organizations coming together with Christ at the center to create a threefold cord: this is partnership that brings about meaningful change!”
