John Perkins Center
for Reconciliation, Leadership Training, and Community Development
Founded in 2004, the John Perkins Center is a first-of-its-kind partnership between the John and Vera Mae Perkins Foundation of Jackson, Mississippi, Seattle Pacific University, and Christian community leaders throughout the Pacific Northwest. Dr. John Perkins has described it as “the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.”
Through CityQuest, Latreia, SPRINT, and Urban Involvement, students can serve and learn cross-cultural competence and explore vocational calling.
Students can choose from these academic programs to participate in the work of reconciliation, as well as understand the theological realities in today’s world.
Meet the reconciliation advocate and evangelical civil rights leader behind the Perkins Center.
