OUR HISTORY
The BCM was called the Baptist Student Union for many
years. Our story is a story of faith and prayer.
In 1930 the people and pastor of FBC Edmond felt like a special ministry was needed for the students at Central State College. The BCM begain as a group of students meeting at the parsonage home of Dr. M. E. Ramey. They soon moved to meeting in a classroom on campus. In 1932 the BSU became a recognized student organization at Central. In 1948 a two story white house was purchased on the corner of what was then College and Main. In 1956 the lot next to the house was purchased. In 1958 a center was constructed for campus ministry. Mary Wrany was the first BSU Secretary. She also taught piano at the college. Ray Ingram, Ada Ingram, Gene McBride, and John Burns were campus ministers who gave direction to the student run organization. When the property was purchased it was surrounded by other houses. As the University obtained land the BCM Center was left an island of private property surrounded by the university. In 1984 a larger kitchen and a worship area were added onto the existing center.
 THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AT THE DEDICATION OF THE BSU IN 1949. THE PRESENT BCM IS LOCATED AT THE SAME SITE.  |
