Mark Joseph “Joey” Bomia, an educational ministries major, knows that Campbellsville University is where God has called him to be. M After surrendering to the call of full-time ministry after his senior year of high school, Bomia accepted a job as the children’s minister at his home church, Marion Baptist Church in Marion, Ky. “One of my passions is for youth, to see them spiritually grow in their lives when they’re surrounded by such negativity and spiritual darkness. I’ve had experience in ministry working with both youth and children so I can definitely see myself working with the younger generation.” Even though Bomia found his calling before coming to Campbellsville University, the people he’s met and the opportunities he’s been given have only reaffirmed his full-time call to ministry. Bomia would like to credit Dr. Shane Garrison, assistant professor of educational ministries, for “advising Joey Bomia escorts Erin Clarkson in the Homecoming Queen crowning ceremony. me, mentoring me, helping me to get (CU Photo by Ye Wei “Vicky”) plugged in and just being a caring friend in my life.” “The opportunities that have follow God’s word and will first but take One major opportunity that Bomia has opened up for me on campus this year, advantage of the people surrounding received is Baptist Campus Ministry’s specifically the BCM president-elect, them. president-elect position.
