Questions & Answers

We can help you parents

Dropping your child off at college can be both a proud and scary moment. For 18 years you have poured into them, taught them, provided for them, but now you have to let go and allow all those lessons take hold in them. I know what you’re feeling, I have been there. I can’t promise that your student is going to have no issues while in college. I can promise that they will. There will be moments of doubt. There will be times where they don’t make the wisest choices. They will have decisions put before them that they may have never dreamed of having to chose between. That’s the reality of college life but it doesn’t have to be the only reality.  

At BCM our goal is to provide a Christian Community for your student to be a part of so that they know they have friends, mentors, and pastors they can turn to while in college to help them with those decisions. We are passionate about helping to see that the same grace that saved them is the same grace that will sustain them while they’re in college, when they graduate, and when they become parents themselves. So if your students becomes part of our community know that they will be loved, encouraged, and led to live a life that honors Christ. From one parent to another. You have my word we will do our best.

“The college campus is a strategic mission field for the sake of the kingdom of God. College students are shaping the future of our world, and the church has a vital role to play in raising up a generation of young leaders who will impact their campuses, their communities, and our world for the cause of Christ.”

– J.D Greear, pastor and author.
