MAKE A DIFFERENCE
“I could not imagine myself anywhere else. Being surrounded by a Christian community has helped me in my personal growth and spiritual growth–that is the best thing about Missouri Baptist University. At first, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to come to this school, but the scholarships I received through donations helped me get here. This school is a blessing.”
-Lily Williams, Freshman
“After touring MBU my junior year of high school, I had this overwhelming feeling that this is where I was going to be. I knew I wanted to attend MBU and the scholarship I received really helped that dream become a reality. MBU has given me a sense of community that, growing up, I never really had. I am so thankful for this opportunity and for the donors who provided me the funds to experience MBU.
– Nicholas Kelly, Sophomore
“I don’t think there are words that could express my gratitude. I came from a single-mother household with not a lot of money, so this opportunity means a lot to me.”
-Micah Lee, Junior
“MBU has changed my life in so many ways. I truly feel like I belong. I live at MBU, I work at MBU and I go to church at MBU–this school has given me a community. Without the donations, I would have a harder time being here.”
-Grace Covington, Sophomore

Capital Projects
Capital Projects help to expand MBU’s campus, providing exciting opportunities for the MBU community to interact and forge the ties that bind alumni, students and the many members who make up the Spartan Family. The current priority fundraising project includes the Baseball/Softball Complex Improvement Campaign. The MBU Baseball/Softball Complex Improvement Campaign is intended to give alumni, family, faculty, staff and friends of MBU Baseball and Softball a meaningful way to contribute to a new Field Complex, bleachers, concessions, restrooms, field improvements and a press box on MBU’s beautiful, sixty-six acre West County campus. MBU’s current baseball/softball fields are in great need of renovation. The field and lack of an athletic facility do not compliment the stellar reputation of MBU’s baseball and softball programs. Our goal is to build upon the reputation of both teams and build a facility and enhance the fields to match the caliber of the teams. These renovations will support and enhance their ability to compete for conference and national championships as well as help MBU recruit student athletes to join the program.
