Ministry spotlight - Collegiate Black Christians

This week's spotlight focuses on the Collegiate Christians at the University of Tennessee. According to their Web site:

Collegiate Black Christians (CBC) was organized in 1995 in response to the lack of ministry geared towards the unique needs of Black students at the University. At that time among the numerous campus ministries, none was doing an effective job of ministering to the needs of Black students. In response to this truth, three student leaders pioneered the group to serve as the safe place for Black students at UT to deal with spiritual issues. What began as a small informal prayer group has evolved into one of the largest student organizations at the University.

Collegiate Black Christians also offers several programs including:

• Bible study - a weekly study dedicated to reading and applying scripture to our daily lives. It meets every Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Wesley Foundation.
  

• Missions - members can be involved in volunteer work within the local community or around the world. Past missions have included trips to Atlanta and South Africa.

According to their Web site, "CBC is above all a fellowship of students who are growing together and learning to love God and one another."
