Winthrop BCM - Check It Out

The Baptist Collegiate Ministry, BCM, is just one of the many religiously affiliated groups with ties to Winthrop University's Campus.

BCM offers students a free meal every Thursday night at 7 p.m., accompanied by a short sermon and worship session called "Refuge."

Though it has "baptist" in its name, "you don't have to be baptist to come here," says BCM's campus pastor Jack Blankenship. "If you're curious as to what we are all about, come join us."

"We are a group of students here to accomplish a simple mission: Love God and love our campus," says Blankenship.

The students at BCM participate in serving the Rock Hill community and the Winthrop Campus, as well as serving the world through mission trips. Students have traveled to Puerto Rico, The Philippines, and even Australia to do mission work.

"We express our love for our campus by serving others and sharing with them the greatest gift we have ever been given," says Blankenship. "And we do all of this filled with a joy and excitement that cannot be matched."
