BSM is a great place to make friends and grow in your faith at college.
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.
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 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.
