As a loving member of Baptist Campus Ministry and members of our student organization Judson Fellowship, you will soon experience the fun and fellowship that is being with us. Our ministries offer different opportunities for people to serve and engage in the NIU community while allowing for exploration and deepening of your faith. Baptist Campus Ministry has a ministry for those who want to grow in their faith, be leaders in the community, are new or exploring Christianity, feel God most in music, or in helping your neighbor. Whatever your age and stage of life we invite you to explore our ministries.
Interactive Bible Study
Launching point for people to go deeper in faith and learn to be leaders.
This 2025 fall semester we will launch our Interactive Bible Studies. Join us to partake in open and conversational study of the Holy Bible. We will read the scriptures, discuss current day application, societal views, historical findings and much more.
"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work"
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Worship

CHINESE BIBLE STUDY
Saturday at 7pm
The Dekalb Chinese Bible Study Group began in the sixties when there was a group of Chinese students coming to NIU to continue their academic pursuit. Back then, most of them were Cantonese-speaking. Their ethnicity were from Hong Kong or Southern China near Canton. As time has gone by, the tide has changed. There has been an increase in Chinese students coming to NIU. Some of the students are from Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and in particular, from the Peoples Republic of China. ​ Our main goal is to form a mutual support group for each other and to give witness to the overseas Chinese community present on the NIU Campus. ​​
Our activities include Bible Studies, outreach, evangelistic meetings and other social activities. Throughout all these years, the goal of the group has not changed; it remains a place for learning how to love each other with God's love and then sharing that love with those in the community that have differing beliefs.
