Tennessee Baptists have been faithful to one of the state’s most strategic mission fields for 100 years.
Baptist collegiate work can trace its roots to the late 1800s and early 1900s with the Student Volunteer Missions Movement and students dedicating themselves to prayer for their campuses and the foreign mission field.
It was a humble beginning, but in 1925 the Tennessee Baptist Convention made a commitment to launch a ministry focused on reaching college campuses across our state with the gospel.
