Seventh Annual BSM Celebration Brunch

Our 7th Annual BSM Celebration Brunch was a HUGE success!  More than 120 people crowded into the Junior League Tea Room to hear story after story of lives transformed.  This is our only Houston wide development event and those present generously shared their resources for this ministry.  As of April 29th, we stand at $22,705, just shy of our $25,000 goal.  If you would like to help us reach that goal, you may give online by using the Amazon Donations link below or by sending your check to the address below.  This ministry cannot exist without your support!

BSM Brunch
San Jacinto Central

San Jacinto College is home to a little over 14,000 students. It is purely a commuter campus, meaning that it has no residential housing. It is strictly a 2 year college where students can work to attain an Associates degree or simply work to towards building hours to transfer to a 4 year University. There are also several technical programs where students can go straight from the program to a guaranteed position with a company.

This presents some interesting challenges for ministry on campus. While the BSM does have a building, it is not the center point of campus and we have to work very hard to make our presence known on the campus and also help students to find where we are located. It also challenges us to do ministry a little differently then what others might consider typical for a BSM.

We are about 2 basic things at San Jac: sharing Christ and helping to develop leaders. This happens in a variety of ways. We have a Wednesday lunch that is free for any student that would like to come eat a hot meal and here the word of God shared. We have a concert series with a variety of genres every semester. Students lead different Bible studies each semester. There is a weekly service project where students can get out into the community and serve in some capacity. We get out of Houston every Spring Break for a week long mission trip. The students also do a great job of helping in the local churches in Pasadena with Disciple Now's, Retreats, Student Ministries and various other ways that we help to serve the local church.

One of the great advantages to having a building on campus is that students have the ability to hang out and study, play games, and enjoy getting together for a cup of coffee or a Bible Study. It is truly an asset to the ministry for all of the things that we do as a ministry.
