We are a research and training community for Christian health ministry organizations, researchers, and students.
The Meros Center promises to be a community where relationships and research work together to create gospel-centered strategies that reflect the ministry of Jesus. We all have a part to play in showing God’s love, and each of us have been given gifts and abilities to act as the body of Christ in this world. This is Meros.
Researchers, church leaders, and organization leaders receive training to implement and evaluate gospel-centered community health strategies both locally and globally. In this vibrant hub of networking and discovery, believers work together to holistically transform communities. The Meros Center values differences in learning, abundance thinking, curiosity, hope-filled dignity, and transparency.
