Campus Based

Two of my most formative years in ministry happened on a university campus in the Pacific Northwest. In our early years of ministry, my wife and I served through an initiative of the North American Mission Board aimed at engaging university students in Seattle, Washington. Our assignment was the University of Washington, which, honestly, functioned […]

Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) is kicking off the fall semester of ministry with gospel-fueled, welcome week events on campuses across the state.   In Little Rock, the BCM kicked off the school year with a jam-packed welcome week. They started with an ice cream social, where they saw over 130 unique individuals connecting with others inside

If you lead college ministry and have not yet stepped into Greek Life, you could be missing one of the most connected and influential communities on your campus. Fraternities and sororities are more than social clubs. They are close-knit, tradition-rich groups that shape campus culture, drive service projects, and influence the rhythms of student life.

It was the first Monday night of the fall semester, and the Student Activities Department’s street dance had just kicked off.

Fall is officially upon us, at least in terms of the school calendar, if not yet the weather! Already the exciting stories of God moving on campuses are all over social media, and it is exciting to see what God is doing in the lives of these students. Students are being saved, disciples are being

The IMB shares the statistic that two percent and five percent are considered the thresholds for what the terms “reached” or “unreached” peoples are. If a people group is less than 2% evangelical Christians, then it is considered unreached. Some mission organizations also consider that if they have less than 5% of the population identifying

When I think of collegiate ministry, I equate the year-long experience to an incredible ride down the rapids of the middle section of the Ocoee River in southeast Tennessee.  The fall semester is the immediate launch into Class III rapids called “Grumpy.”  It is typical to be launched out of the boat with the only

As a husband, father, and minister it is without question my family is my primary ministry calling. My wife and I are blessed with three children who are currently 22, 19, and 17. While I have always desired and prioritized my wife and children being involved in my ministry, each season has been different. The
