International Student Ministry
Welcome the Nations God Has Brought to Your Campus
More than 1.75 million international students and scholars are studying in North America. Equip your ministry to build meaningful relationships, create welcoming communities, and share the hope of the gospel with students from around the world.
Why ISM Matters
The Nations Are Already on Our Campuses
Many churches and collegiate ministries have a heart for international students. Some have vibrant and growing ministries, while others are just beginning. Wherever you are, you do not have to figure it out alone. The Baptist Collegiate Network exists to help ministry leaders exchange ideas, share resources, and build relationships as we seek to obey the Great Commission in our own neighborhoods and communities.
