Student Ministry or otherwise known as BSU (from of it’s
former name of Baptist Student Uninon) is part of the collegiate ministry
of the Southern Baptist Churches. While BSU is an extension of the Southern
Baptist Churches, it is not necessary for one to be Baptist to be part of
or get involved with this great ministry. In fact, over fifty percent of
the midshipmen currently involved with BSU are not Baptist. Every midshipmen
involved appreciates the group’s strong desire and ability to perform
a full range of ministry. BSU’s reach includes: Local Church Involvement
including the USNA Chapel, Discipleship Leadership Training (Mentoring),
Small Group Bible Studies, Accountability, Retreats, Fellowship, The BSU
House, Outside College Fellowship, Reaching Within the Hall (sharing the
gospel with other midshipmen), Outreach (Mission Trips), Active Prayer Meetings,
and our large weekly Tuesday Night Meetings. To get involved simply e-mail
bsumail@usna.edu.
