Spiritual Life
We believe students are driven by missions, not just majors. OC helps you find Christ’s calling for you and equip you to be a change maker in the world.
“The Spiritual Life initiative at OC is about students pursuing a full life so they can become who God wants them to be.” — Summer Lashley
