BCM FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

How do I join the BCM? - Great news! Membership is free! There are no dues! If you attend one of our events and fill out an information card, we put you in our database and add you to our email list. You are then considered a member. We hope you will join us!

What if I'm not Baptist? No problem; in fact, many BCM students are from other denominations. All students, all denominations, all faiths are welcome to attend any BCM sponsored activities and events.

Is the BCM a church? BCM is not the church. We are an extension of the church on campus. We strongly encourage students to find a local church home while they are away at college.

How do I get connected to a local church? There are many great churches in the Tallahassee area and several with dynamic ministries for college students that we can point you to. Come by the BCM for a Church Directory and map.

I'm a freshman, what's the best way to get involved with BCM? We kick the year off in August with Survival! We also have ongoing ministry to freshmen through "Fish Schools". You will be a part of a family of 8-10 fellow freshmen with an upperclassman "Mom & Dad". There are many other opportunities to be involved like the Freshmen Campout, Freshmen Field Day, Progressive Dinner to 6 local churches in one night and so much more.

I'm a transfer student, what's the best way to get involved with BCM? Survival is also for Transfers! In addition, we have a Transfer Bible Study and other activities specifically designed for transfers.

What is a Nu-Zu? The Nu-Zu is our weekly announcement sheet that we hand out at Encounter (our Tuesday night praise and worship service at 7 PM - call 850-222-4444 for location). It has all kinds of important information about upcoming events and some random pictures and comments too. You might forget to bring a pencil to class or you might forget to eat breakfast before a big test, but don't forget to get a Nu-Zu each week at Encounter.

Everyone talks about getting BCM emails. How can I get on that BCM email list and Facebook group? Well, there are several ways. First, you can fill out an Information card at either Encounter or Edge Cafe. We will automatically put you on our list. Second, you can email us at fsubcm@fsubcm.org and ask us to add you to the list. Third, give us a call at (850) 222-4444.

How can I be a part of the BCM Leadership Team? Applications for the BCM Servant Leadership Team are available in the Spring of each year. We will interview with those who apply.  The new Leadership Team begins serving in August. Anyone can apply.

What if I have more questions? Call, email or come by the BCM if you have any questions. We would love to meet you!
