The First Baptist Student Union, or the “BSU” as it is often called, is First Baptist Church’s college-age and campus ministry for those in Rowan County and Morehead State University. We are following in the radical way of Jesus Christ and sending forth Christian students for vital service to Christ through whatever career path they’ve chosen to take.
Come and join the 1BSU in studying the Bible and serving God!

What is Selah Vie?
An end-of-summer retreat for undergraduate & graduate students from across the country
An opportunity to hit pause on life to experience God through worship, small groups, workshops, nature, and fun
A time to help us slow down, breathe more deeply, and catch up to our bodies - physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually
70 Years of College Ministry at FBC
In Spring of 1954, a group of Baptists at Morehead State College (now University) organized the Baptist Student Union with our very own Rev. J.C. Raikes as the "Pastor Advisor." The utmost goal was for students to "develop spiritually as well as physically and mentally and to send forth Christian [students] for vital service to Christ through whatever vocation they've chosen." A former BSU director said that "This ministry [was] a testimony of the faithfulness of Kentucky Baptists, particularly those of First Baptist Church, Morehead, and some of the greatest students in the world.
