BSM is a great place to make friends and grow in your faith at college.
College is one of the most important yet taxing times on a students life, and being sure that you have a strong foundation to fall back on is crucial. Through my local church and BSM I not only found friends, I found community and family. I was discipled, encouraged, and loved. When things get stressful, I have been able to not rely on the small portion that is my strength, but the strength of all those who have found their worth in Jesus and His truth.
I believe that my involvement with the local church and the BSM has been the most important things I have done in my time in college. I have grown so much closer to God through the Godly community I have developed that has continually challenged me in my walk with Christ and encouraged me as well. I have made many friends that I get to just hang out with and have good times but also have life giving conversations ... I believe that without these wonderful God-fearing people in my life I would have had a much harder time in college and not have grown as much in my faith.
Joining the BSM was the most important thing in all of my college life so far. I knew that college would be very hard and finding a good group of people was the way I was going to grow and have an easier college journey. Joining a community and growing alongside many amazing friends with whom you get to share experiences is what make the BSM so special.
