Connect with people and grow in your faith at UT Arlington

Baptist Student Ministry is a great place to connect with people and grow in your faith at UT Arlington.  We are a large, active and diverse Christian campus ministry.  Our “home” is the BSM building on the UTA campus.

The BSM exists to encourage UT Arlington students to become fully committed followers of Jesus.  Our mission is to equip UTA students to reach our campus and the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ.  We value learning God’s word, the Bible, and applying it to our lives. We want to help you build meaningful friendships and get involved in a local church.
