Baptist Collegiate Network
The Baptist Collegiate Network (BCN) is a Baptist college-level organization that can be found on many college campuses in the United States and Canada; many of its collegiate ministries operate under the name Baptist Collegiate Ministry or the Baptist Student Union. The organization, while Baptist, functions as an interdenominational and coeducational fellowship, student society and service organization. Baptist Collegiate Network is primarily associated with the Southern Baptist Convention. History
The organization was founded as Baptist Student Union in 1919 by the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Joseph P. Boone, a Baylor University graduate, was the first secretary. In 1920, the first state-wide convocation members was held at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas. 300 students from 20 schools came for the development of programs. Churches and state conventions have been deemed crucial to its growth. According to Baptist Press in 2012, the network had more than 69,500 students actively involved in campus ministry through this organization and its affiliated state-level Baptist conventions.
