Ashlyn Trice - Associate Director
Ashlyn is a graduate of Austin Peay State University and holds a Master of Arts in Christian Education from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. She is originally from McEwen, Tennessee. After graduating from college, Ashlyn served as a Campus Missionary at Austin Peay. It was during that time that she realized how strategic the college campus is for reaching the next generation with the gospel.

Ashlyn is married to Chris Trice. They met while attending Austin Peay through the BCM and have enjoyed serving and investing in college students together ever since. Chris serves as a Biblical Counselor and Young Adult Minister at their church.
In March 2026, Chris and Ashlyn welcomed their beautiful daughter, Evelyn, into the world on March 5. They are loving every moment of watching her grow and are grateful for the joy and blessing she has brought to their family.

Keegan Bradley - Campus Missionary
Keegan Bradley serves as the Campus Missionary at the University of Memphis. She is a 2025 graduate of UofM with a Bachelor of Science. Keegan has been following Jesus since 2018 and is passionate about helping college students grow in their relationship with Christ.
During her time at the BCM, Keegan experienced firsthand the transformative impact of biblical community, discipleship, accountability, and evangelism. Through the BCM, God deepened her faith, provided opportunities to serve both locally and globally, and cultivated a heart for sharing the gospel.
With a love for the University of Memphis, its students, and the city of Memphis, Keegan is excited to invest in the next generation of leaders and see what God will do on campus this year. He considers it a privilege to walk alongside students as they grow in their faith and live on mission.
Go Tigers!
Student Leadership Team
The BCM is a student led organization. Students are given the opportunity to use the gifts that the Lord has given them to serve their campus. They do this through leading small group Bible studies, planning events, and participating in mission trip opportunities.
The purpose of our leadership team is to connect others to Jesus and His church.
Why do you like being on the leadership team?
I love leadership at the BCM because we grow together as a team; more importantly, we grow together in Christ. Firsthand, I've seen the intentionality to form relationships and truly get to know people. BCM leadership feels like family!

What I enjoy about leadership at the BCM is that I can be a server. I get to hear about people's days and frustrations, and then turn around and pray for them. I love being an open-minded person for people.
