Baptist Student Union

For more many years, the NGU Baptist Student Union has been a national leader in mission involvement among all colleges and universities in the nation.  Weekly meetings involve students in worship and fellowship.  Ministry opportunities include Impact Teams (who minister through churches and share in community missions). Act II (the BSU touring drama troupe), the BSU Choir and Praise Band, and Joyful Sound (three vocal teams and a band of students who minister through Christian music).

Athletic Ministries

The mission of Athletic Ministries is to build godly and moral character in our student athletes and coaches.  Our goals are 1) that every athlete would know Christ as their Lord and Savior, 2) that every athlete would graduate, and 3) that every athlete would be a winner both on and off the field.  Athletes are exposed to the gospel of Christ, encouraged to grow in their relationships with Christ, and equipped and mobilize for service both on and off campus.

Athletic Ministries meets each Friday at 10:00 a.m. in Turner Chapel throughout each academic semester. 

 

Prayer

Prayer is at the heart of every ministry (2 Chronicles 7:14).  Through prayer Christians are called to humility, repentance, faith, and restoration.  The key to God’s peace is found in taking everything to Him in prayer.  Through the ministry of our Interns, students are called to prayer and to providing prayer support for our ministry efforts.

Evangelism

Reaching others with the gospel of Christ is one part of the Great Commission.  Jesus said that His mission was to "seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10).  He has entrusted those who know Him with the responsibility of sharing good news of salvation with others.   Through our eight campus ministry interns and fifty chaplains, we seek to lead and train students to share Christ with others both on and off campus. 

Brothers and Sisters Fellowship

As a sister organization of the Baptist Student Union, the Brothers and Sisters Fellowship encourages students in their Christian growth, unity, and fellowship and provides opportunities to engage students in missions through a Gospel Choir.

 

Discipleship

New Christians need to grow spiritually, but like newborn children, they don’t know what they need.  Believers need to find mentors and be mentors for others in the faith.  Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 2:2, “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to the faithful who will also be qualified to teach others.”  The Campus Ministry Intern Team and chaplains coordinates this ministry.

Bible Studies

Bible Study groups are designed to build fellowship among participants and to challenge believers to spiritual growth.  A wide variety of study groups are offered to meet the various needs of students.  These groups are coordinated by the Campus Ministry Intern Team.

Reaching New Students

The first few weeks on campus are foundational for every student.  During this time students are choosing who will be their most trusted friends as well as making decisions which will literally impact the rest of their lives.  Campus Ministry seeks to encourage new students to connect with the body of Christ on campus through small group Bible studies focusing on prayer support, fellowship, and accountability.  The Campus Ministry Intern Team leads these ministry efforts.

Leadership Development

Part of the mission of our institution is to develop leaders who will influence the world for Jesus Christ.  While the need for spiritual leadership is essential for churches and other ministries, spiritual leaders are needed in every vocation.  Campus ministry seeks to enlist, train, and develop spiritual leaders through small groups, conferences, and workshops.  The Campus Ministry Intern Team coordinates this important ministry.
