Join us in congratulating Deborah Jarrett on her retirement! 🎉🎉🎉

We are so sad to see her go, but so happy for her!

Deborah was our Wedding and Special Events Coordinator, for the last two years.

Over these two years Deborah fully embraced her role and built many meaningful and lasting relationships with our staff and clients. She helped hundreds of brides on their special day. Most importantly she loved the opportunity to share the history of Scarritt Bennett Center and will continue to share and cherish that.

Thank you so much Deborah for all your hard work! We hope your retirement offers you everything you can dream of and more. Enjoy the rest, you deserve it!🤍✨🎉👏🏼

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.
