JOY Groups for this spring have started up!

JOY Groups are BCM's small groups. JOY stands for Jesus, other, and you, and stands as a constant reminder that the groups are to have a Jesus/Christ center, then focus on reaching others and finally geared toward ministering to the individual student.
This semester, we will have three small groups, and a fourth will be added if the need arises. Below is a list of the groups and a description of the group, as well as leader bios.

Everyone should join a JOY group if you can, they're an awesome way to develop into a stronger Christian and get to know fellow BCMers!

When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.      1 Corinthians 9:22
