“What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.”

 James 2:14, 17

 

A new year is starting and together we're encouraging one another to be on fire for Christ! Why do we get mad at the dark for being dark? Instead of getting mad, we should be going out and sharing our light to illuminate the darkness. What good is our faith if we keep it to ourselves? Faith without deeds is dead.

 

 
  Our Values

In life, 4 things are eternal:

1. God

2. His Word

3. our character

4. souls of man 

We use the first 3 things to influence the 4th. BCM isn’t a normal club or organization. It’s a family of love and accountability. We’re here to do 3 things:

1. love God

2. support each other (BCM)

3. impact the community 

How do we achieve that?

1. Bible Study

2. fellowship

3. outreach

 What does that look like for someone in BCM?

Through Wednesday night worship/Bible study and church on Sundays, we allow ourselves to grow closer to Christ. Our Monday lunches, fishbowl fellowship, and fundraising endeavors gives us the opportunity to grow closer to one another. The mission projects we do around the area, like volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club, and outreach on campus helps us to impact the world around us.

 

 

Background
"Because Christ Matters" is the CNU division of the state-wide organization Baptist Collegiate Ministries. Baptist Collegiate Ministries is supported through the Virginia Baptist Mission Board. BCM's were started at schools across the state to encourage collegiate fellowship, service, and discipleship among Christians. Although we're sponsored by the Virginia Baptist Mission Board, the CNU BCM is open to all Christians. We are here to serve all CNU students regardless of their faith.
