Methodist Family Health will dedicate its newest facility, the Mike Millar Spiritual Life Center, at 10 a.m. at 2002 S. Fillmore St. in Little Rock on Feb. 28.
Methodist Family Health Foundation raised $4.2 million to construct the center, which is named in memory of Mike Millar, a lifelong United Methodist from Searcy, Ark. He served on both Methodist Family Health’s operations and foundation boards of directors. Millar was an attorney, philanthropist, and volunteer who died in 2020.
The chapel of the center is named in memory of Elaine and Bishop Kenneth Hicks, also longtime supporters of Methodist Family Health.
Construction of this facility began in October 2021 and completed in January 2023.
In addition to the Elaine and Bishop Kenneth Hicks Chapel, this center will include a multipurpose space, a welcome center for the campus, and administrative space for Methodist Children’s Home administrators. This center also will include an outdoor labyrinth, new landscaping, and enhanced parking to complement the building, and the facility will provide space for community partners to meet for neighborhood association meetings and community education.
