for Christian Leadership at Princeton

Located at 19 Vandeventer Avenue, The Robert L. Melrose Center for Christian Leadership serves Christian Union's ongoing work to develop Christian leaders at Princeton.

The Melrose Center provides offices for Christian Union's ministry faculty and serves as a home base for alumni and student activities, including Bible courses, leadership training, mentoring appointments, prayer, and Reunions gatherings.

The building, just one block from campus, is a Princeton landmark, an 18th century center-hall Colonial originally built on Nassau Street in 1780 and moved to its current location in 1887.

The Center honors the memory of Robert Lumley Melrose, Princeton Class of 1954.

Mike Vincent

Christian Union Ministry Director

Mike Vincent grew up just outside San Diego, CA. He graduated from Princeton in 2010 with a degree in Sociology, played varsity volleyball, and was heavily involved in the beginnings of a new campus ministry called Princeton Faith and Action (now CU Nova). He was a part of CU’s first Seeking God Lifestyle emphasis, was a part of the resulting move of God on Princeton’s campus, and was personally transformed. He then interned with Christian Union at Princeton for two years after graduation

Mike and Anna also fostered five teenage girls for three years while pastoring. They now have two boys - Kaden who is 7 and Isaiah who is 3. Mike enjoys spending time with his family, board games, classic movies, metal music, volleyball, and all things Disney.
