STUDENT MINISTRY PARTNERSHIPS
According to the Kentucky Baptist Convention, 60% of students walk away from their faith after high school, and 95% of students in the state of Kentucky ages 12—24 do not profess to be active Christians! These stunning statistics are deeply disturbing. Clearly “business as usual” has not been working. That’s why we have chosen to make campus ministry a key priority for our association of churches.
TBCA is a mission partner with Jake Hancock, the Kentucky Baptist's Convention's Regional Campus Missionary.
BAPTIST CAMPUS MINISTRY OF EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Baptist Campus Ministry at Eastern Kentucky University exists to reach students with the gospel of Jesus Christ, connect them to a local church community, and disciple them toward spiritual maturity. We achieve these purposes through various events and the relationships we build with college students. We seek to provide a place where students can be known and encouraged during their collegiate years. This includes things like small group Bible studies, large social events, worship and trips during the year. We desire that students have a meaningful and rewarding college experience full of personal and spiritual growth.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
The EKU BCM is open Monday—Friday from 9:00 a.m.—11:00 p.m. We close at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays to encourage students to be plugged into a local church.
There are several ways TCBA churches can support the BCM at EKU.
Prayer!
Providing meals at different events throughout the year
Financially supporting us monthly or perhaps a one time gift. All of our year long programming comes from local TCBA churches.
From time to time, we'll have some light construction projects that need to be done in our building.
Your presence and willingness to be involved in the lives of college students (being a mentor, leading a Bible Study, adopting a student, etc.)
