s we move further into the 21st century, Oklahoma Christian University will extend its leadership as a premier Christian institution of higher learning and higher calling. To fulfill this vision, we pray that everything we do will be imbued with excellence and goodness as we serve Jesus Christ. That is our goal in planning and conducting this campaign – to identify the most important needs of the university that, once met, will provide the greatest positive impact on the minds, hearts and spirits of the greatest number of students. Further, we pledge to be good and effective stewards with the funds and the direction you provide.
As you consider your level of support, we encourage you to reflect on these specific pursuits that are essential to fulfilling the university’s mission to transform lives for Christian faith, leadership and service. We solicit your involvement as we seek to:
- Glorify God, Christ and the Holy Spirit while affirming the Bible as the inspired revelation of God’s will and upholding Christian standards of conduct.
- Integrate faith and learning in every aspect of the university’s work and champion the truths of Christianity while encouraging free and responsible investigation in scholarly pursuits, in accordance with the university’s mission.
- Focus on outstanding teaching while mentoring and nurturing students both inside and outside the classroom.
- Advocate the liberal arts, which are an expression of God’s creation, and uphold them as a critical foundation of education.
- Educate for professional excellence while instilling a spirit of ministry and service.
- Cultivate a global perspective in order to prepare students for life in a complex, demanding and changing global community.
- Nurture a climate for excellence in every aspect of the university’s work.
Our commitment to excellence and the $60 million overall goal of this campaign are ambitious. The need is clear. The time is right. The investment is necessary. The OC community is ready.
Your personal involvement – through your encouragement, financial support, prayer and sacrifice – truly will make a difference on this campus and in the lives of our students and our society as we enhance the academic, physical and spiritual resources of Oklahoma Christian University. We look forward to partnering with you in this worthy endeavor.
