When David Crowder was attending Baylor University in Waco, Texas in the mid 90's, he learned that more than half of the 14,000 students enrolled in the college were not attending church. This was very disturbing to Crowder, and after many conversations with a friend of his, they decided to start a church that was college friendly. Thus, University Baptist Church was born. That was 1996. Today, almost a decade later, nearly 1,000 people, most of which are college students, are attending the church. In the Spring of 2004, they lauched their first headlining tour. It the summer of that same year, they had the opportunity to tour with Michael W. Smith and MercyMe. 2005 has brought them two Dove Award nominations: Modern Rock Recorded Song of the Year for "Revolutionary Love", and Rock/Conteporary Album of the Year for The Lime CD.
