It’s our favorite week of the year!  And BCM Welcome Week 2018 is gonna be a ton of fun. You’ll have great opportunities to meet new people, build community and get the semester started off on the right foot.  Feel free to show up at any (or all!) of our events…you’ll be sure to make friends fast.  It all starts on Monday, August 27th.

Monday (27th) – Cookout and First Monday Night Bible Study at the BCM!! (across from Cleveland State).  6:00pm.  It’s a great way to meet up with friends and find out what BCM is all about.

Tuesday (28th) – It’s Late Night Game Night With Strangers!!!  Basically, show up to the BCM with some friends or show up by yourself.  And play jackbox (among other games) with strangers.  It’s a ton of fun…and a bunch of strangers will magically turn into friends throughout the evening.  We’ll be here all night.

Wednesday (29th) – Happy Hour and BCM Open House.  Grab a FREE refreshment and hang out for a bit.

Thursday (30th) – Club Day at Cleveland State Campus (11:30a – 1p)  Join us on the campus of Cleveland State for Club Day!  Come by our booth, grab some goodies and learn more about BCM.

Friday (31st) – Pool Party and Pig Roast @ Lowry Home (6-9p)  Relax after the first full week of classes.  We’ll carpool from the BCM at 5:45.  Free food, swimming, games, and a welcome week recap.

The BCM building is located at 1475 Norman Chapel Road, Cleveland, TN 37312.  If you need a ride to any event, text us at 423-645-4027 or email bcmcleveland@gmail.com

The tradition continues!  BCM is heading back to Destin, Florida for a relaxing few days at the beach before the realities of the fall semester sink in.  And you’re gonna love this beach house.  It’s in the Hollywood Community of Frangista Beach, Destin.  We’ve got our own HUGE private pool, steps to the beach, and it’s just really nice all around.

We’ll be hanging out in the ocean, playing on the beach, watching movies and of course playing spike ball in the sand!  You don’t want to miss out on enjoying the company of your (new or old) BCM family.  And on Friday, we all help new Lee students move into the dorms….yep, that’s part of the deal…but it’s a ton of fun too.  And you’ll be able to show off your nice new tan.

Over the past 7 years, the Cleveland BCM has been sending students on mission to Granada, Nicaragua.  Nearly 60 students from Lee and CSCC have made the trip, many of them going more than once.  Working with missionaries Eric and Melissa Weber, the teams engage in village evangelism, church construction, feeding programs and other ministries.

This year, we are sending a team of 10 students to serve May 14-23.  Each student is responsible for raising their own support of nearly $1,100.  They are also working to raise money to cover 42 food boxes we use in our village evangelism efforts as well as purchasing supplies for church construction.

Would you consider helping these students as they seek to share the good news with families across Granada?

Your donations are tax deductible and will go directly to these programs in Nicaragua.

You can easily click one of the items below or the custom amount link to give even more 🙂

$20 purchases 1 food/supply box for a family in need.

$60 purchases 3 food/supply boxes for families in need.
