BUD Ministries

BUD (Be Unshakably Devoted) groups are communities on college campuses all across the country that invite men to take part in Christ-centered conversations and relationships. Each group is run by student leaders who are passionate about Jesus and creating community on their campus. BUD provides college men with the tools and resources to launch, grow and sustain Christ-centered communities on college campuses. We create curriculum and resources that tell the real stories of college men chasing the heart of God, provide scripture for diving into God's word, and open up a space for prayer and vulnerability. Over the course of the academic year, men participating in BUD will experience transformation. They will be touched by God's Spirit. They will feel the power of community. Deep truths in their lives will come into clearer focus. That which they think they know will be challenged. Things they never knew will be revealed. They will leave different men than when they started -- all to the glory of God. Psalm 16:8 - "I keep my eyes always on the Lord, with Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken."
