It’s more than just a catchy phrase; the words were chosen carefully and prayerfully because they reflect the essence of Oklahoma Christian University. All universities engage in Higher Learning; few are shaped by the Higher Calling that compels us to educate the whole person in the diligent pursuit of academic and spiritual excellence.
Education at Oklahoma Christian is a participatory process, engaging the mind, soul and body in the noble quest for excellence of life, under the watchful care of loving and professional faculty and staff. Education here is not “delivered,” nor is it “received.” Rather, it is a process in which all of us engage together – the enrichment of the mind and the spirit. This community – faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees and benefactors – affirms that reality transcends what we perceive with our finite senses.
We hope what you see in these pages will help you understand better our strategic needs and will inspire you to invest your time, talent and treasure in this worthy, life-transforming institution. Our quest for excellence will flourish with the friendship and generosity of thousands of friends like you who appreciate both the Higher Learning and the Higher Calling that focus our efforts on the pursuit of truth.
Your support is vital in the furtherance of our mission to transform lives for Christian faith, leadership and service. Specifically, your gifts will fund scholarships to give more students access to quality Christian higher education, will enrich our academic and extracurricular programs, and will provide quality academic and living facilities not covered by tuition and fees. Your support will enhance our students’ collegiate experience and prepare them for more productive lives. It also will strengthen the university’s endowment to solidify its future.
Will you join with us in the Higher Learning~Higher Calling campaign? Your partnership will ensure that Oklahoma Christian University advances its role as a premier Christian institution and, in turn, will help Oklahoma Christian make the world a better place for us and our children.
