HISTORY

B.A.S.I.C. was established on the campus of SUNY Stony Brook in the Fall Semester of 1990 with only one student. Since Basic's inception, hundreds of students have been influenced mightily for the Kingdom of God. As a result, some have gone into full-time ministry, while others have served the Lord faithfully in graduate school or in their professional careers. The group is very culturally diverse, consisting of many international students from all over the world. Throughout the years, dozens of students have been water baptized and gone on to become disciples of Christ.

Weekly Format

   B.A.S.I.C. meets on Mondays at 8:00 pm in the Student Union Building, Bilevel. The format consists of Praise & Worship, Announcements, Testimonies, Bible lesson or group exercise/video, time of prayer, and fellowship/refreshments. Weekly events are as follows: Men's/Women’s Small Group, B.I.T.E. Evangelistic Prayer Meeting, and Literature Table Outreach. Unity is maintained with other fellowships on the campus through corporate concerts of prayer and student leader meetings.

Mission

     B.A.S.I.C. exists to aid Full Gospel Christian Center in effectively reaching, discipling, and challenging college students as they stand for Christ. The vision of B.A.S.I.C. can be summed up in 7 points:

Retreat

    Our dynamic retreat is the highlight of each semester. The conference is held in Syracuse, NY and is attended by hundreds of students from about thirty campuses.
The speakers always deliver an "in-season" message to the hearts of everyone. Students are challenged in their faith and dedication to the Lord. There is also an awesome time of celebration during praise & worship.
