Office of Missions

Director of Missions — Mark Vowels

Missions is at the heart of Christianity. For that reason, it occupies a central place in your church. It is also central at Bob Jones University. Our Office of Missions coordinates all the missions activity on our campus and acts as a resource for missions information. If your congregation could use assistance or direction regarding its missions program, we would like to help.
