Radical Hospitality at Scarritt Bennett Center

At Scarritt Bennett Center we talk a lot about radical hospitality, yet what does it mean and how does it show up on campus day in and day out?

Radical hospitality is more than a concept of welcome and inclusiveness, it is an atmosphere permeating these 100 year old buildings that motivates everything we do – from Community Lunch and Catering to Soul Work and Racial Justice Ministries, Lodging and Conference & Event Services.

Not to forget Weddings & Receptions. We host hundreds of weddings on campus every year.

Our Story

Scarritt Bennett Center creates space where individuals and groups engage each other to achieve a more just world.

In 1988, Scarritt Bennett Center was organized as a non-profit conference, retreat and educational center, committed to empowerment through cross-cultural understanding, education, creativity and spiritual renewal.

The Center’s name honors Dr. Nathan Scarritt and Miss Belle Harris Bennett, founders of the original Scarritt Bible and Training School.

Initially founded in Kansas City, Missouri, the school was established for the purpose of training young women missionaries. It moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1924, where it became Scarritt College for Christian Workers. Scarritt Hall, Bennett Hall, the Tower and the Chapel, known collectively as the Belle Bennett Memorial, were built between 1924-1928 with funds raised by the Woman’s Missionary Societies and the Methodist Episcopal Church South. The Dining Hall, built at the same time, was paid for from local funds.
