BSM is a great place to make friends and grow in your faith at college.
I love the BSM. However, I believe the most important place to get involved is with a church. The body of the church is there to keep you accountable, to lift you up and give you a community to grow alongside. My church loves fellowship and getting to know each other. They help me grow spiritually with classes and small groups. They are Christ centered. They keep me plugged in to the word and it has become a home to me.
I grew up going to church, but I never understood biblical community until I went to the BSM. I can say now that biblical community is one of the most powerful things that God allows us to experience! Not only does it help me keep my faith grounded, but it is a place to go if something in my life isn't going well.
Getting involved with a local BSM or local church is so important because it gives you a community of believers who can build you up and teach you things that you didn't know you needed to know. The BSM is where I learned how important it is to read your Bible and spend time with God.
