Black Faculty and Staff Association - Welcome

Welcome to Murray State

We invite you to use or share this Residential Welcome resource that contains a wealth of information for our new or prospective residents to the Murray/Calloway County community.

Community Resources

In an effort to provide a starting point for new faculty and staff if you are interested in a church home, there are a lot of welcoming places of worship in Murray. However, we have compiled a list of predominantly Black churches within and around Murray, most often referenced by the community. Please note that this is not an exhaustive listing. If you have additional churches not listed here, please email msu.bfsa@murraystate.edu.
