Meet the Staff

  • Austin Reaves

    Campus Minister

    My name is Austin Reaves, and I have the honor and the privilege of serving as the Campus Minister at Baptist Collegiate Ministry at Georgia State. I am originally from Newnan, GA. I went to the University of North Georgia where I majored in Marketing. It was there that I met my wonderful wife Savannah (at the BCM.) After graduating from college, I served for two years as an Intern at the Georgia Southern BCM. After interning, Savannah and I moved to Wake Forest, NC in order for me to pursue my MDiv at Southeastern Seminary. While at Southeastern, we had our first child Emerson Olivia Reaves. I love working with college students and helping them grow in their walk with Christ! I am passionate about coffee, Atlanta sports, board games, movies and anything outdoors. I look forward to getting to know you!
