WHAT IS THE COLUMBUS STATE BAPTIST STUDENT UNION?
Local Columbus area churches and the Georgia Baptist Convention reach out to students on the campus of Columbus State through the program known as the Baptist Student Union. The BSU is an organization that encourages a balanced, mature Christian development during college. The BSU remains the the oldest and largest organization at Columbus State and is open to all students. The BSU wants students to find Christ, grow in their Christian faith, and grow in their Christian response to others in the world around them.
The BSU is a program of Christian outreach and Christian growth, or the Inward Journey and the Outward Journey. The Journey Inward serves to strengthen students and includes all aspects of growth related to worship, churchmanship, fellowship, bible study, and in stewardship of life. The Journey Outward provides opportunities for students to minister to the needs of other persons through evangelistic witness, social action, and ministry with internationals and other students.
WHERE DOES THE BSU MEET?
The
BSU holds a variety of meetings during the course of a week. They meet at
9pm on Sunday evenings for "Refuge" (a student praise and worship time).
They also meet each Thursday at 12.30pm for a Student Luncheon at the BSU
Center. This meeting is designed for great fellowship, dynamic worship and a
great time of Christian growth in collegiate discipleship!Each week there are various discipleship family groups meeting around the campus to allow for spiritual growth, encouragement and fellowship.

Perception is Reality…or is it?
“Family Time” Devo
6:33 P.M. – 8:00 P.M. in the Columbus
Room
(Davidson Student Center)
Every Thursday
Jesus stated
that though we are not to be of the world, we are to be in the world. This
means that God intends for us to bring our transformed lives into contact
with those who do not know God or those searching. No matter who you are,
how young or how old or where you've been, in many ways we should always be
searching—always growing. That is why Cougars for Christ, a non
denominational campus ministry, exists: to give you more people to
fellowship with and grow as we all seek out God’s purpose and will for our
lives.
Our common goal and emphasis will always be on Jesus Christ, His Word and a
life led by the Spirit while experiencing our Father’s amazing love. So
come on and be yourself as we grow in Christ, get wrapped up in the Word and
experience a life of true purpose led by the Spirit!
Come and build life-changing relationships, share in praise and devotional
time with us; just hang out and be yourself. This is also a great time to
come and see who we are truly about and who we are striving to be.
More information coming soon.

We
are a group of believers dedicated to bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to
anyone who has an ear to listen. We are a very diverse and nondenominational
campus ministry focused on showing individuals how to live their lives on
the purpose that God has called them to. The ministry conducts bible study
every Monday night at 9:00 p.m. in room 202 of the Rankin dorm. There are
also accountability groups that meet once a week for both males and females.
We also fellowship with one another through outside activities such as bowling and skating. We welcome anyone who feels the need to learn more about Christ!
Join us in the Fall beginning Monday, August 23 at 9 p.m. in the Rankin Center. If you do not live in the Rankin Dorm, e-mail Nick in advance for access to the building.

HAVE QUESTIONS about your faith? Want to ask questions and develop your unique personal faith? Try us out!
Try one of these ideas:
- Check the
CSU Clubs and Organizations
page. Not all faith-based groups have joined the Campus Ministry
Association, so you may find a group there to interest you.
- Try the
yellow pages. Call area churches or groups to see if they offer
classes and activities for your faith. If they don't, ask if they're
interested in starting something new.
- Start your own group! Call Student Activities to learn more about starting your own organization. If you're starting a faith-based group, please let us know so we can help you out with advice and advertising to find your first members!
