Serve
The GOAL of GOLA
The aim of GOLA (GO LouisianA) is to provide gospel-centered, practical missions experiences to college students. This cooperative missions effort of the Louisiana Baptist Collegiate Ministry team is designed to inspire and connect the next generation of church leaders.
Whether the mission is long or short term in nature, local or international, Louisiana BCMs strive to Reach, Connect, Strengthen, and Mobilize this collegiate generation.
You can serve in Louisiana, the States, or the World!
