Our Mission
The Center for Global Opportunities exists to promote a vision for and participation in 21st century Gospel expansion.
Bob Jones University is all about the Gospel.
The CGO is all about helping students connect the Gospel to every person on the planet –  whether a person at a Greenville coffee shop or people in faraway China. The CGO is not about a new room or a new name. It’s about all of us as a BJU community working together for what’s most important – the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
