| "Servant leadership is about creating an atmosphere of growth and service for everyone in an organization or community. It's about listening between the lines to build a vision everyone can own. It's about the subordination of self to meet the needs of others. It's about modeling what you want to see happen." - William B. Turner
The servant leadership philosophy is spreading throughout our community and our nation.

College Program
The Servant Leadership Program at Columbus State University is a four-year program designed to build a community of servant leaders through academic pursuit, personal reflection and engagement in the community. The program is a collaborative effort between the University, the Center for Servant Leadership at the Pastoral Institute and the broader local community.

The Center for Servant Leadership can provide resources and consultation to other institutions of higher education desiring to develop a Servant Leadership Program.
