About Baptist Collegiate Ministries

Shorter College’s BCM is open to all students regardless of denominational background. The mission of Baptist Collegiate Ministries is to reach collegiate students for Christ and to disciple them to a mature faith.

BCM is student led, Christ centered and church related. To meet Shorter’s BCM leadership council, click here.

We seek to help students to grow inwardly through such activities as discipleship, family groups, Bible studies and prayer groups. Weekly worship services, community ministries and missions highlight some of the corporate ways students can grow in their faith.

In addition, we strongly encourage students to be actively involved in a local church.

ref·uge (n.) - Protection or shelter, as from danger or hardship; A source of help, relief or comfort in times of trouble. Refuge is also the name of BCM’s weekly event that meets every Thursday at 6:45 p.m. in the Austin Moses Room of the Sheffield-Thompson Building. We have different events scheduled each week that allow worship and ministry opportunities for the students of Shorter College.
