Missions, Service & Public Life

Missions, Service and Public Life strives to shape Baylor's faithful engagement with Waco and the world. We prepare men and women for worldwide leadership and service with a goal to make a better world...together.

To do so, we provide transformational opportunities for students to love their neighbors by cultivating self-discovery, deepening human connection, developing a healthy worldview, and equipping servant-leaders.
