About Us
The Baptist Collegiate Ministry of Cleveland, TN is a recognized student organization on the campuses of Cleveland State Community College and Lee University. Our building is located across the street from Cleveland State. Our desire is to foster an environment which helps students learn about Jesus, love Him more, and share that love with others.
One of the BCM's main objectives is to share the Gospel with students and see them mobilized to share the Gospel with others in their own city and around the world.
