Join students, parents, collegiate leaders and church leaders on Thursday, August 11, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. to pray over the USA campus prior to the beginning of the fall semester.

If you would like to take a prayer drive, pray over another campus or pray at another time; opportunities and guides are available. Please contact Jerrod Brown, 344-5904, if you plan to pray on any of these Mobile area campuses. Move In Day on the USA Campus August 13, 2016
Saturday, August 13, 2016 is Move In Day. Freshmen and returning students will begin settling in the dorms. For many years BCM has assisted students as they move into the dorms. We have unloaded cars, carried luggage and boxes and collected trash. We would love to have you and your college ministry volunteers on campus with us as we serve. If you are interested in helping students move in from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on the August 13, please let us know. We would love to arrange for you to be on campus to serve. Contact us at 344-5904 or via email. Parent & New Student Breakfast August 14, 2016
In an effort to ensure as many Mobile county collegians as possible are connected with one of the area Baptist Churches, BCM is offering a setting for churches to meet and greet students on Sunday, August 14, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. While we understand a few congregations have schedules that may conflict, we are asking each congregation to find one or two representatives to meet and greet students and parents. Many parents and students may be interested in finding a local church, but may not know where to look. We want them to be able to meet you and your congregation on their first weekend on campus. We will offer a free WAFFLE breakfast and a meet and greet time with Church representatives. We will dismiss by 10:00 a.m. If you would like to be a part, please let us know in advance by contacting Campus Minister Jerrod Brown at 344-5904 or via email. |
