FAQ
YOU MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS... SO WE HAVE ANSWERS!

SO... WHAT IS THE BCM?
The BCM is a student organization at Austin Peay State University. BCM stands for Baptist Collegiate Ministry. Our “home” is the BCM building, located on APSU's Campus (corner of College & Drane).
The BCM provides opportunities for spiritual growth, making friends, leadership, service, and missions. We have everything from big events with up to a couple hundred students, to small groups and one-on-one mentoring, so there is a place that is just right for you!

DO I HAVE TO BE BAPTIST?
Absolutely not! The BCM is sponsored by local and state Southern Baptist churches and is open to all APSU students! So come on by the BCM... everyone is welcome!

ARE WE A CHURCH?
No. We are a ministry supported by dozens of local churches through the Cumberland Baptist Association. The BCM encourages all of our students to be actively involved in a local church; we never want to take the place of church in anyone’s life. One of our goals is to help you find and connect to a local church while you are attending college.
