Have you ever wondered where to go for the most helpful materials to plan a worship service, teach a church class, lead a small group Bible study, or develop an outreach program? Have you ever wished you could compare leading programs and their related materials, some of which cost hundreds of dollars and require weeks of seminar training to obtain? Have you ever needed to talk with a professional in church ministry to learn how to make the most effective use of the newest and finest leadership resources for your area of service? Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary are pleased to introduce the Ministry Resource Center (MRC), located in the northeast corner of the 4th Floor of the Hekman Library. The center is designed to fulfill the library’s mandate of providing the best available resources for students and the West Michigan community. The center is an outstandingcollection of practical resources, in print, digital, and audio-visual formats, for all aspects of college, seminary, and congregational ministry.

The materials in the center’s collection are also useful for others such as those in prayer ministries, urban neighborhood ministry, and volunteer services. The MRC is designed as well to help patrons realize how gifts in art, theater, music, dance, writing, languages, counseling, business, technology, accounting, or management, can be used in ministry.
