Who we are

Hey, you. Meet us!

We promise, we don't bite.

BRO College was founded in 2014 by a few alums of our church's high school ministry, who felt that the community needed a group whose mission was to provide ministry, opportunities for service, and fellowship to college age students.  The group is here to organize faith-oriented events and activities that appeal to people of our age group, and to serve as a kind of "home base" for college students when they return from school for breaks.  We hope to foster a group that can serve as a network for members to encourage and support each other throughout the year, while reminding each other of the core values (which brought us to this group) that we all share: faith, volunteerism and service, and kindness toward others.

What does it mean?

Actually, we're glad you asked. BRO College knows that starting college changes our lives in a lot of ways, but here - your home - is where you first learned what it really means to be you! As we grow, there are lots of forces in the world looking to change our values and who we are; this group is here to help you anchor yourself to the values and lifestyle you want for yourself.  In other words, we're here to remind you that, no matter where you go, you (and your values) are homegrown.

"Homegrown"?

What kind are you?

Don't worry, we're not this kind of "bro"...

"BRO"?

stands for 

While you're here, become a part of a team that reaches out and gives back to the community that's given you so much.  When you go back to school in the fall and tell your friends what you did this summer, they'll all tell you,

"COOL STORY, BRO!!!"
