ATTENTION GRADUATING SENIORS:

Most of us have heard the reports about the large percentage of high school students who drop out of church once they arrive on the college campus. One of the reasons could be

the difficulty that campus ministers have in connecting with incoming freshman from SBC churches. Sometimes it is just hard to find them amidst all the other students on campus.

The National BCM office has developed a website to help in- coming Baptist freshman and local campus ministries find each other. A student, parent, or youth minister can enter the information. All they need to do is go to: www.sbccampusconnect.net and fill out the online form. The student’s information is then sent to the campus ministry for the campus they will be attending.

If the student would like to search for a BCM on a particular campus, they can visit www.bcmlife.net and enter the name of the college or university. If a BCM exists on that campus, then the information related to that ministry will be available.

If you work with youth in your church or association, please help get the word out about this important tool. Please feel free to pass this information along to youth leaders in your association. This is a great tool to use at youth gatherings as you talk to your seniors about their freshman year.

The BCMLife website also has some great resources to use with college freshman and graduating seniors.
