BFNC’s investment in ministering to young adults and college students has always been integral in our overall commitment to serving Christ. During the COVID-19 upheaval, our college ministers continued to connect with their students, as well as reach new students through social media, regular online worship and Bible study, one-on-one check-ins, and fun activities such as virtual game nights and Netflix parties. One of the joys of collegiate ministry is our relationship with students in marking milestones. We celebrate the beginning of each new semester, join together for an annual retreat, and encourage and embrace students who serve in summer and semester missions. However, the launching and blessing of students into the world as graduates is always the highlight of the year. With campuses closed this year due to the pandemic, we had to devise a new way to mark this important milestone for our students. Seniors were asked to send in a video with a statement about the value of CBSF on their life. The videos were then used as part of a statewide, online worship service where all of the college ministers offered a blessing to each graduate along with music, prayers, scripture and a homily. View the video celebration at cbfncyoungadults.org. Thank you to all in our fellowship for providing the support that lets CBFNC be present with students during this uncertain time.
