Student Organization

Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM) is the parent organization for all student groups and coordinates a variety of events on campus. BCM exists to minister to the student body and promote spiritual growth and fellowship on the campus. It supports a number of Bible studies, dorm competitions, special welcome activities, as well as a variety of off-campus service events. Contact the BCM Director for more information.

American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) is an organization to expose students to the professional and volunteer opportunities associated with the helping field. The on-campus chapter will participate in advocacy related to local ministry and to hear from local professionals. Some years will include an international conference where pastors, lay counselors, and professional counselors will hear from big speakers and go to break out sessions about Christian Counseling and current research.

Official Student Groups

Official student groups meet regularly to address needs and interests that are within the purpose of the BUF community. Each student group has a faculty advisor. Baptist University of Florida has no official off-campus student organizations.

New Student Groups

New student groups may be established when there is sufficient interest on the part of the students. The name and purpose of the group must be prepared in writing, address a relevant need, and be consistent with the purpose of the university. It must include a proposed faculty advisor and be presented to the Office of Student Life. Once approved, it will then be presented to the President for final approval.
