The Institute for Missionary Discipleship takes the mission of College Ministry and extends it to all student leaders at Benedictine College and to leaders in the New Evangelization. The Institute for Missionary Discipleship seeks to transform lives in Christ for a life of mission by forming and sending students and attendees into the world as Catholic Missionary Disciples.
