BMCU sets Oct. 21 ticket deadline for ministerial alumni dinner in Madison

Blue Mountain Christian University has set an Oct. 21 deadline for advance ticket sales to its ministerial alumni dinner, scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, at Broadmoor Baptist Church in Madison.

The university announced the cutoff in an Oct. 15 update. Its official registration page lists the church at 1531 Highland Colony Parkway and offers an alumni dinner ticket for $16.

Registration and event details

Attendees can select “Get Tickets” on the registration page to reserve a seat. The checkout lists the $16 dinner ticket and a separate $25 ministerial alumni dues option. Readers booking a meal should check the option they select; the page’s $16–$25 price range covers those two differently labeled items.

The registration page also offers an optional contribution toward payment-processing fees. Questions about the dinner can be directed to Cristy Underwood at cunderwood@bmc.edu or 662-685-4771, extension 119.

A 70-year milestone

The gathering comes as BMCU marks 70 years of ministerial education, a milestone the university highlighted in September.

According to BMCU’s institutional history, the school admitted men preparing for church-related work in 1956 at the request of the Mississippi Baptist Convention. That change preceded its broader move to coeducation: trustees voted in October 2005 to open all programs to male students.

The university is based in Blue Mountain, but the Oct. 27 dinner is in Madison. The registration page welcomes both returning participants and first-time attendees.
