We are excited to have John Moore serving as our new National Collegiate Ministry Leader replacing Linda Osborne as she takes on the role of Director of Threads.John earned a Bachelor's of Science degree from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA and holds a Master's of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS). In June of 2006 he received the Distinguished Alumni Award from NOBTS.
Here are a few more things John has shared with us about himself, his experience and background:
I spent over 30 rewarding years working with the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM). During that time, I established and implemented “Reach, Connect and Strengthen” as Louisiana BCM goals. These goals enabled us to develop Campus Minister’s leadership training, greater accountability to local churches and associations, and a quarterly one-on-one update that included ministry updates and local campus strategic planning. I was very proud that we achieved these goals and believe our success was due, in part, to the metrics I established to assess our progress towards achieving our goals.
