The Collegiate Ministry Group of the South Carolina Baptist Convention exists to see all college students become lifelong disciples of Jesus, who impact their world for Christ.  Through the ministries listed below,  we seek ways to empower students to know Christ, to grow in their relationship with Him and to go in service and witness for Him. 

Here are seven ways that we seek to accomplish our mission:

1)  Baptist Collegiate Ministry groups on college campuses throughout South Carolina.  Currently, we have ministry and outreach on 31 different campuses.  A listing of these groups and contact information for their leaders can be found at www.scbcm.org.

2)  Equipping Churches - Every church who has a college student is a college church.  We provide tips and tools for churches to better impact students with the gospel and to impact the campus for Christ.

3)  Collegiate Focused Events - Throughout the year, we sponsor training and equipping events for students and for leaders of college ministry.

4)  Transition Ministry Assistance - Helping youth transition from high school ministry to ministry in college is a major concern.  The Collegiate Ministry Group provides a number of activities and events to help strengthen this transition process.  For students attending a college in South Carolina, a great website is www.bcmu.org.

5)  Scholarships for Ministry Focused Students - The Collegiate Ministry Group helps administer the Church Related Vocational Scholarship for undergraduates and the Richard Furman Scholarship for seminary students.  Qualifications and procedures for these scholarships can be obtained at www.scbcrvs.org.

6)  Collegiate Missions - It is our hope that every Christian college student will be mobilized for ministry and mission experience.  We assist students and churches looking for ways to serve while in college or immediately graduation.  For more information, go to www.goandsend.org.

7)  Collegiate Evangelism - We provide resources and training for SCBC churches and leaders in how to share the gospel with college students in a meaningful way.
