Growing and Building Our Community in Love
The purpose of Connexus is to join together and celebrate our pursuit of excellence as we grow and build God’s kingdom in love. Based on scripture (Ephesians 4:16), Connexus is a day of celebration designed to honor all members of our community as contributors to advance the mission of East Texas Baptist University.
The goal of Connexus is to foster a spirit of togetherness amongst students, faculty, and staff of ETBU. For more information, please call 903.923.2320, or visit the Student Engagement office located on the first floor of the Ornelas Student Center.
