The Baptist Collegiate Ministry is a ministry of the Dyer Baptist Association that seeks to serve and reach college students for Christ on campus. We uphold the doctrines and principles of our Baptist faith as set forth in the BAPTIST FAITH & MESSAGE 2000 as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention.

Drew Bentley is the new BCM Director as of December 2025! Drew has been serving in ministry for about three years and has a deep passion for teaching others about the love of Christ. He is committed to building meaningful relationships, fostering authentic community, and equipping students to grow in their faith. Drew brings a warm, approachable leadership style and a heart for discipleship, encouraging students to discover their purpose and live boldly for Jesus. He’s excited to step into this new role and continue investing in the next generation of Christian leaders.
Drew is a dedicated member of Mount Vernon Baptist Church, where he serves faithfully as a youth leader. His heart for ministry extends beyond the local church, Drew has spent time serving in Guatemala, an experience that deepened his passion for missions and sharing the hope of Christ across cultures. He carries a strong desire to see others grow in their faith, both at home and around the world, and is committed to living out the Great Commission in every area of his life.
