SBC Collegiate

SBC Campus Coordinator: Hunter Smith

SBC Collegiate

Our vision is to glorify God and make faithful followers of Jesus Christ by reaching this generation of students. We desire to cultivate in every student a love for Christ, for his church, and for the campus!

We have five goals to reach this generation of students...

Proclaim: Proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to all students, everywhere.
Integrate: To encourage students to pursue baptism, membership, and assemble with the local body of believers.
Fellowship: To provide opportunities for college students to gather and develop long-lasting friendships on campus and in the church.
Partner: Develop cooperative relationships with partnering campus ministries and collegiate “Peacemakers.”
Send: To train up and send out the next generation of Christ-followers, no matter their vocation.

We meet every Tuesday on the Roanoke College campus at Morehead hall from 7:00-8:00pm. This year (2024-2025) we are going through our series on Urban Legends of Christianity, where we talk about different misunderstood ideas of the Christian faith and how Christians should think about them today.

Check out our calendar for fun events we are doing throughout the year!

Spurgeon's Daily Devotional

Soul Food

Luke 8:13

My soul, examine yourself this morning by the light of this text. You have received the Word with joy; your feelings have been stirred, and a lively impression has been made. But, remember, to receive the Word in the ear is one thing, and to receive Jesus into your very soul is quite another; superficial feeling is often joined to inward hardness of heart, and a lively impression of the Word is not always a lasting one.

In the parable, the seed in one case fell upon ground having a rocky bottom, covered over with a thin layer of earth; when the seed began to take root, its downward growth was hindered by the hard stone, and therefore it spent its strength in pushing its green shoot aloft as high as it could. But having no inward moisture derived from root nourishment, it withered away. Is this my case? Have I been making a fair show in the flesh without having a corresponding inner life? Good growth takes place upward and downward at the same time. Am I rooted in sincere fidelity and love to Jesus? If my heart remains unsoftened and unfertilized by grace, the good seed may germinate for a season, but it must ultimately wither, for it cannot flourish on a rocky, unbroken, unsanctified heart.

Let me dread a godliness as rapid in growth and as lacking in endurance as Jonah's vine; let me count the cost of being a follower of Jesus. Above all let me feel the energy of His Holy Spirit, and then I shall possess an abiding and enduring seed in my soul. If my mind remains as stubborn as it was by nature, the sun of trial will scorch, and my hard heart will help cast the heat the more terribly upon the ill-covered seed, and my religion will soon die, and my despair will be terrible.

Therefore, O heavenly Sower, plow me first, and then cast the truth into me, and let me yield a bounteous harvest.
