Each year, many Spring Breakers accept Jesus through Beach Reach. Informational meetings will be held in November and January - keep an eye on your email for more information.

Each semester, the BSM will host a Saturday "Serve Day" where ETBU students will engage the community by serving in various ways at community ministries and through general community service.
