Mackenzie Young - Campus Missionary
Mackenzie recently graduated from Austin Peay State University with a Bachelor's in Marketing and Business Administration. She is originally from Aurora, Colorado and moved to Tennessee during her senior year of high school. She has served on the leadership team and worship team at APSU and is excited to serve as a campus missionary at the U of M!
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.
