Baptist Collegiate Ministry is a fellowship of students, an organization involving students, and a program of ministry for students.  Without the fellowship there is no organization, and programs are developed in order to provide students a structured base for spiritual development.  Effective ministry through Baptist Collegiate Ministry supports the work of students and encourages their involvement in and leadership of the ministry.  Viewed as an extension of the church, the BCM is a resource for college-students to extend the ministry of their local church to the campus.
