Missions
We LOVE Missions!
Jesus called us to make disciples of ALL nations, so we extend our discipleship outside of the four walls of the BCM to our Campus, our Community, our Country, and the World!
At the BCM we are very missions-minded, and we encourage all APSU BCM students to serve in missions. As followers of Christ, we are to be on mission for God every day. Our locations and opportunities will vary from year to year, but we encourage our students to do their part in carrying out the Great Commission. We love to work with local churches and ministries and also give our students international opportunites.
See what our students have to say about their mission experiences!
Candice Trice - Sophomore
"Missions have really put things into perspective for me, It's made me realize the urgency if the Gospel and the amount of people who have never known the name of Jesus both around the world and in our own backyards. It's enhanced my heart to serve and love others like Christ and to not be afraid to reach out to those who are different than me. You never know how God can use you! Jesus reached "the one" and so should we."
Josiah Baker - Junior
"The impact that BCM missions have had on my life could be described better in a book. They have affirmed callings, grown me as a servant-leader, and taught me more about what each day should look like as a follower of the LORD Jesus Christ. I have seen the Spirit move in me, the teams I’m serving with, and the people we are sharing the Love and Gospel of Jesus Christ with. The BCM and the missions I have taken part in with them have taught me things and taken me places that are worth far more than the degree that brought me to APSU. It has been an answer to prayer and a catalyst for growth and change in my life."

The Well
The Well is a food and clothing ministry serving the underprivileged and is located near APSU’s campus and downtown Clarksville. This ministry provides a meal and Bible study time on Monday and Wednesday evenings, as well as a worship service on Sunday. On the first Monday of every month, BCM students support The Well by providing extra hands in setting up, serving, and cleaning up after meals. We have also sponsored clothing and canned food drives for the ministry.

Kids' Club
Every Wednesday from
3:15pm - 5:00pm during the school year, a group of BCM students serve at the Summit Heights Housing Community (about 5 minutes from campus). We are able to share the love of Christ with about 20 - 30 school-aged children each week through games, crafts, Bible stories, and snacks. We always need extra student volunteers for this ministry, and it is a great way to serve in our community!
