NICK SMITH, DIRECTOR
Nick Smith has been called to serve as Director of Baptist Student Union Ministry at Northeast Mississippi Community College, with service beginning June 1.
Smith holds an Associate of Arts degree from East Mississippi Community College, a Bachelor of Science degree from Mississippi University for Women, and a Master of Theological Studies from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
“I have had the blessing of engaging in BSU since my freshman year in 2018. The Lord has placed a love of one-to-one discipleship and missions. God has ignited a passion for seeing the people of Mississippi love and desire Christ in a profound, passionate way. I also have a passion for seeing God glorified in the world’s unreached nations and the gospel preached to those who have never heard.”
