Helping churches saturate Missouri college campuses with the good news of Jesus.

MBCollegiate exists to bring light to Missouri college campuses and equip next-generation disciples to be and make disciples. Our mission: expand God’s Kingdom (Luke 11:2) in the collegiate world (Acts 1:8) for gospel saturation (Psalm 67:2).

We’re a network of like-minded Baptist college ministries partnering with Missouri Baptists for greater gospel impact across the state. Each ministry is autonomous, working alongside local churches, associations, and the Missouri Baptist Convention. The MBC’s MBCollegiate group strengthens existing ministries and helps launch new works on more campuses.
