What is BSM?
BSM stands for Baptist Student Ministry. BSM Montgomery exists to walk with local students as they take the first step or next step on their faith journey.
Do I have to be Baptist to attend?
Absolutely not! The name “Baptist” simply indicates something about our heritage as well as the individuals and churches providing financial support for this ministry. So come on by the BSM, everyone is welcome!
Do I already need to be a follower of Jesus to attend?
Absolutely NOT! BSM exists to journey with you as your wrestle with your faith / spiritual questions. We are truly honored to be part of your journey. All are welcome. We won't force anything on you. Everything we do is designed to create an open space for honest dialogue about faith related topics.
How do I join BSM?
BSM is FREE - Just start coming! We do NOT have a membership fee, we just have events and people come. Our events are open to any LoneStar & SHSU-TW students.
Are you a church?
No. We are a ministry supported by local churches. BSM encourages all our students to be actively involved in a local church; we never want to take the place of church in anyone’s life. We are affiliated with Texas Baptist and supported by local Baptist churches. If you're looking for a church, here's a list that of our local partnering churches.
