About - Montevallo BCM

A little about BCM...

As believers in Jesus Christ, wherever we are, our purpose remains the same: to grow in Christlikeness and share with everyone the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Since God has placed each of us at the University of Montevallo, we are called to carry out that purpose on this campus. BCM seeks to be a community of encouragement and a place of equipping for believers to further understand their calling and walk in greater obedience.
