WHAT DOES A
BALANCED CAMPUS MINISTRY LOOK LIKE?

Connect. Build. Serve.

At Missouri State BSU, we believe that a thriving campus ministry isn't built on just one focus—it's built on a balance. Our ministry is centered around three biblical pillars: Community, Discipleship, and Mission. When these three areas come together, students experience a transformational faith that’s lived out in real relationships, grounded in Scripture, and driven by purpose. This model helps students connect deeply, grow spiritually, and live missionally—on campus and beyond. Explore how each area contributes to a holistic faith journey, and why balance is key to long-lasting impact.
