A big part of the Because Christ Matters is to give back to the community by investing ourselves in service to others. The CNU BCM carries out a variety of mission projects throughout the year, ranging from helping out at the Newport News free dental clinic to giving back to local churches, who are incredibly supportive of our ministry.

Giving back to the community is a defining aspect of the Baptist Collegiate Ministries for the fact that we wouldn't exist without the generous giving of those around us. Every Monday afternoon, when we meet for "WOW", a local church brings us a home cooked meal to enjoy. We're able to gather together and fellowship, enjoy this meal, and have bible study together. Without these churches, that fellowship opportunity wouldn't be able to occur every Monday afternoon.

The Virginia Baptist Mission Board, as well as other Christian organizations, offer a wide variety of missions opportunities during the semester and summer. Every fall, the Baptist Collegiate Ministry's state leadership team gets together and creates a brochure of missions opportunities for BCM members to take part in. If you're interested in such an opportunity, please visit the state Baptist Collegiate Ministries site to learn more about them!
