Welcome to MC!
Look for us during Welcome Week to find out what the BSU does and how you can get plugged in.
Fall Events
Survival Day
Since we are a community that is a tool of the Church, we have a day where we go to several local churches and get to know the pastors and college ministries. We hope for all students to get involved in a Church while here at MC. *Event is open to only incoming Freshmen & Transfers.
Discipleship Dinner
To kick off our semester of discipleship, we host a dinner to both encourage and help place students who are seeking to be poured into spiritually by other students. Our motto for the MC Baptist Student Union is to “Make Disciples who Make Disciples” and this dinner is one way for us to encourage students to take discipleship seriously.
College Student Conference
This weekend of community, worship, Bible study, and announcement of BSU Summer Mission opportunities is held at a church in the Metro Jackson Area. Sponsored by the Collegiate Ministry of the Mississippi Baptist Convention, this conference is open to all college students in Mississippi through BSU.
Fall Hangout
At the end of October, we host a Fall Hangout where we invite students to come dress up, play games, eat, and fellowship as we enjoy all things Fall! Many students have loved this event and see it as a time to begin enjoying the fall weather while also taking a break from all things school.
Friendsgiving
Before Thanksgiving Break, BSU hosts a Friendsgiving event for students to fellowship and share a meal together. Several students would say that this is their favorite BSU event of the whole year and one you definitely do not want to miss!
Beard and Pie Auction
Missions means a lot to what BSU stands for and part of that is helping students have the opportunity to go during summer. Each year, BSU’s from across the state come up with Missions fundraising events to help raise funds to support BSU Summer Missions Scholarships. Beard & Pie Auction is just that where we have students volunteer their faces to either be pied or to shave their beards and the highest bidder get the opportunity to shave or pie their friends. All funds go towards supporting BSU Summer Missions and is a night that is full of memories and laughs.
Spring Events
For the Record
Towards the beginning of the semester a little before Valentine’s Day, the BSU hosts “For the Record” at the BSU House. Students have the opportunity to paint vinyl records and take part in a ping pong tournament for the best record. This event has become one students love due to the fact they get to come, relax, and hangout while taking a break from schoolwork.
Missions Banquet
Each year, the BSU Summer Missionaries are presented at a Summer Missions Banquet held to raise support for their summer mission opportunities, pray over summer missionaries, & hear from speakers of how summer missions impacted their lives.
Spring Weekend
Spring Weekend is one of the best weekends of the whole year for MC BSU! We make it a weekend retreat open for students as we stay at a state park while also attending our State BSU Spring Conference in Starkville. Registration usually opens in early January.
Sunrise to Sunset
Starting in Spring of 2023, Sunrise to Sunset has become a staple to our yearly BSU events. It is an all-day time of worship where we host a variety of individuals & partner churches to come be a part of day directing our focus to the Lord.
End of Year
Toward the end of the Spring Semester, BSU will host a big end of year event for students to come celebrate the school year coming to a close, but also to provide a space for students to fellowship.
