Campus Ministries
Another way in which seeds of faith are planted and nurtured in students is through student ministry organizations. These ministries seek to serve the campus community by providing opportunities for all students to connect to Jesus Christ in a community of faith. Fostering an environment where they grow in their faith, and preparing them to thrive in their world for the Gospel.
Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM)
Anderson University’s lead student ministry is Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM). BCM encourages Gospel-centered living through active discipleship (one-on-one and group discipleship), genuine community (through weekly BCM community groups) engaging experiences (Thursday night worship and weekend retreats), and faithful evangelism (both on campus and through off-campus ministry and mission opportunities. Anderson University’s BCM is part of statewide and national networks of programs that together send student missionaries around the state, country, and world during the summer, and offer periodic conferences for fellowship and spiritual development.

Women’s Ministry
Anderson University’s Women’s Ministry seeks to provides a safe, intentional, and encouraging space for women to grow in their relationship with Christ and each other. We do this by providing large-group social gatherings, bible studies, and service events. Additionally, we help facilitate one-on-one and small-group discipleship relationships. Discipleship groups consist of 2-5 women who meet regularly and are committed to spurring one another on towards Christ. These opportunities are available to all undergraduate women attending Anderson University.
