The Baptist Collegiate Ministry “What’s the buzz on the B? ”

From eating together on Thursday’s at noon to worshiping together on Tuesday’s at the “B,” the
Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) is a place where everyone is wel- come. Located at 112 Hurt Street, next to Bradley Bookstore, the BCM accepts students of all ethnic backgrounds and denominations. With numerous ministry oppor- tunities for individuals, the BCM holds weekly activities open to all students alongside other activities on campus. With numerous min- istry opportunities for individuals, the BCM holds weekly activities open to all students. Brad Winter, a UTM student, is one of a group of BCM students who spent a week of winter break in New Orleans, participating in mission work. “It was fun…,” Winter said. “I met a lot of new friends from other colleges in the West Tennessee area like Jackson State [Community College] and the University of Memphis.” Members of BCMs in this area went to assist in repairing Avondale Baptist Church, a church that was dam- aged and repaired after Hurricane Katrina, but was unfortunately damaged again after recent tropical weather. “That was my second mission trip with the BCM, and I would definitely go next year,” said Clint Mealer, another UTM student who participated in this mission trip. An upcoming mission trip in Panama City Beach, FL is BEACH
REACH, “where college students and leaders come together to share the love of Jesus through servant evangelism to Spring Breakers who are desperately searching for meaning to life.” Morgan “MO” Owen, campus minister at the BCM, loves seeing students get excited about things that he says excites God. “My personal goal for the BCM is for students to come to know Christ, find their place in the Kingdom of God, and grow in their relationship with Christ,” MO said. “Everyone’s looking for acceptance and reason for being, and I believe they can find the answers at the BCM.” For more information about the Baptist Col- legiate Ministry, call
