Mission Statement

Loving People...Worshiping the Father...Following Jesus.

This is the goal of the Baptist Student Ministry at SFA. We desire to present the opportunity of knowing Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior to every student at Stephen F. Austin State University. We also want to equip students to share Christ through the Church and to the world for the rest of their lives.

Vision Statement

The SFA BSM has been an effective vehicle for world-wide evangelism and missions since its inception. The SFA BSM has been salt and light at this university mission field since 1923. We are currently equipping around 2,500 students each year. That represents about twenty-five percent of the total student body and includes people from many different Christian denominations. We also belive that God is allowiing SFA graduates to be a key part in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Over the last half century we have had one of the largest groups of former students among all colleges in the USA involved in foreign missions. The BSM is equipping future pastors and church lay leaders for ministry in God's Church. The BSM is a great Commissioon Training Center to evangelize the unreached peoples of our world.
