MISSION STATEMENTOak Hills Christian College is a Christian academic community whose mission is to provide biblicallycentered higher education which contributes to growth towards Christ-likeness and preparesstudents for effective service in their homes, careers, churches, and communities.To accomplish its mission, OHCC uses the means of undergraduate higher education, including thestudy of the Bible as central to the formation of a Christian life and worldview; the study of humanthought, history, and culture; the study of theory and skills of Christian ministry; and the applicationof this learning in ministry and internship experiences.This academic program is conducted within the context of a Christian college community in whichall members are encouraged to treat each other respectfully as persons made in the image of God.Oak Hills seeks to serve a broad section of qualified students who profess faith in Christ and whodesire a Bible-centered education.HISTORY OF OHCCIn August of 1925, six men with a vision met under a big oak tree on the shores of Lake Marquette near Bemidji, Minnesota. Theyasked God for the land to be used as a Christian camp and training facility, and God answered their prayer. Through donations fromfriends and by using their own money, they accumulated 250 to purchase 14 acres of lakeshore property.That oak tree became known as the Prayer Oak, and the organization became known as Oak Hills Fellowship. After two decades ofministry in camping, evangelism, and church planting, the second part of their vision began with the development of a training facility.The purpose of this facility, known as Oak Hills Christian Training School, was to provide instruction in the Bible, Christian character,and fellowship. The first graduating class of four men and three women took place on April 8, 1949.Oak Hills Christian Training School became Oak Hills Bible Institute in 1961, Oak Hills Bible College in 1985, and Oak Hills ChristianCollege in 1998. The name and academic criteria have changed over the years, but the original purpose of teaching and equippingmen and women to be effective servants of Jesus Christ continues to guide us.ACCREDITATION & REGISTRATIONASSOCIATION FOR BIBLICAL HIGHER EDUCATIONOak Hills Christian College is accredited by theCommission on Accreditation of the Association forBiblical Higher Education.
