About Us

Atthe BCM, our purpose is simply love. serve. grow. BCM is a ministry forcollege students with many opportunities for friendship, growth,service, and leadership. Students from other denominations andreligious traditions are welcomed and accepted. College is the besttime to continue a walk with Christ, or even begin one! BCM is designedfor that!

Welcome to the HCC BCM website. Last year, there was no BCM located on the HCC campuses, but through the efforts of dedicated students, and staff like Janet Stevenson (sponsor), that has all changed. God has granted the resources needed to establish this arm of the BCM organization including willing people and a friendly BCM nearby (USF). HCC's BCM is a branch of the USF BCM and we too want to love, serve, and grow.

Right now, the HCC BCM is in the preparation stage. We have prayer meetings and bible studies every Wednesday in the Dale Mabry Student Lounge and are looking to set up bible studies on Thursdays and Fridays as well. By the Fall semester of 2008, we will be an official Student Government club. Please pray that God will show us how he wants us to reach out to all of the HCC campuses and please let us know how you would like to be involved. God bless you all.

At BCM we value

• Connecting students to a relationship with Jesus Christ.
• Creating community for life change.
• Communicating that all students matter to God.
• Cooperating with the church.
