Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) is the Southern Baptist program of campus-based collegiate ministry. BCM celebrates 86 years of continuous ministry and is currently on 839 campuses. While BCM is our North American name, several states and provinces use different terms for our ministry: Baptist Student Union (BSU), Baptist Student Ministries (BSM), and Christian Challenge are a few examples. Our church- based collegiate ministries have many different names as well. The BCMLife website and e-newsletter seeks to tell the story of what God is doing in and through college students and to equip college ministers for effective ministry.
