BCM Members Find Fellowship The Bacone Campus Ministry was a new organization at Bacone that began in the fall semester of 1984. BCM is supported by the American Baptist Churches, U.S.A., and the Bacone College Baptist Church. BCM established an outreach program to Christian leaders, said Ieannie Kirk, one of BCM's sponsors. BCM members took part in a variety of ac- tivities throughout the year such as free movies, parties, food drives for needy families, Christmas caroling, monthly birth- day parties for members and fellowship services. BCM met on Sunday and Wednesday evenings, usually at the chapel basement. About 15 to 60 students attended the meetings, along with faculty and staff members. The Revs. Kim Mammedaty and Meri Whitaker became sponsors for the group dur- ing the spring semester. 1.
