Collegiate Ministry
Providing Specialized Ministry to Mississippi Collegians
Campus
Since 1923, Mississippi Baptists have provided a unified witness to the colleges and universities of our state through Baptist Student
Union. BSU strives to provide a balanced program of Christian growth and ministry opportunities for all collegians.
There is a Baptist Student Union presence on more than 30 community college and university campuses across Mississippi. Each is
student-led and the programs are coordinated by seminary-trained Directors.
Church
The Collegiate Ministry Department is interested in supporting church ministries to college students. The department offers help for your
church in a variety of areas such as:
- Developing a new ministry to college students
- Determining appropriate strategies to reach and involve collegians
- Helping college workers understand the special needs of collegians
- Developing ideas for ministry to collegians while away from the home church
E-mail or call us for assistance with any of the above or if you have a question.
For specific help in the areas of church programs, contact other departments such as:
State Meetings
The Collegiate Ministry Department sponsors three major state meetings annually. A calendar of state meetings and events is available.
These meetings are College Student Conference in September, State BSU Retreat in January, and Leadership Training Conference in April. For
descriptions and registration information on these events, see our State Meeting page.
Collegiate Missions
Opportunities such as Summer Missions provide an exciting opportunity for students to exercise their spiritual gifts. Students involved
in BSU programs raise funds each year to send students out to serve across North America and around the world. Churches are also encouraged
to become involved and discover opportunities for their college students to serve.
For additional information, the International Mission Board and the
North American Mission Board web sites have useful information and listings of mission opportunities.
