In the study of psychology, physical and mental securities are found to be two of the main objectives of the human race. Physical security is emphasized to an overwhelming extent due to the wars and domestic strifes our country has had. Many philosophers maintain that the only real security man can have is the security of his soul. Man finds this real security in the belief of a supreme being, in our case the Christian God.
Organizations are extensive throughout the world for the advocation of a belief in God. These groups deal with different beliefs and different types of people within sects or denominations. The type of person with whom this thesis is concerned is a college student who has had indoctrination and training in a home church. In college he is being exposed to a new type of environment and learning that, for the most part, will affect his physical security. The church is left with a small remaining part of the student's mind; with this, the church must try to develop a more mature person of the student.
Many buildings are built for the advancement of religion. The purpose of this thesis is to show the need for a building to house the activities of a student group working toward Christian fellowship. The building shall be designated as a Baptist Student Center. The purpose of this Baptist Student Center is to provide a center for the religious, cultural, and intrafaith activities of the Baptist students of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. / Master of Science
