Each day, College students must face the challenges of college life: majors and minors, deadlines and decisions, books and ball games, romance and rebellion, vacations and vocations, choices and changes. This is every day in the life of a college student. Our job is to uplift, encourage, reach out, help in any way possible, and serve the college community of WCU. We provide students with a time for God, friends, and fun. careyBSU has numerous opportunities each week for spiritual formation, through worship, fellowship, and service.

At careyBSU we understand that the future spread of the gospel is not dependent on the works of a few, but rather on the full body of Christ teaching future generations. Our goal is to make disciples that make disciples. We offer several different life groups throughout the week for both guys and gals. Life groups are small, non-threatening group environments where students can follow along with the current series with other students, and gain new and deeper friendships as well as accountability and growth in their spiritual walk. These series focus on a variety of topics such as book studies, topical studies, and themed studies. It is important to continually grow and encourage each other in our daily walk with the Lord.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
(2 Timothy 2:15)
