Advancing the Kingdom
Our Mission
The mission of Oklahoma Wesleyan University is to live out what it means to be a Christ-centered university, modeling a way of thought, a way of life, and a way of faith. It is a place of serious study, honest questions, and critical engagement, all in the context of a liberal arts community that honors the Primacy of Jesus Christ, the Priority of Scripture, the Pursuit of Truth, and the Practice of Wisdom.
A Bright Future鈥
Now More Than Ever
Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 鈥淲hom shall I send? And who will
go for us?鈥 And I said, 鈥淗ere am I. Send me!鈥
Advancing the Kingdom of Christ remains Oklahoma Wesleyan鈥檚 core mission since 1905.
Now more than ever is the time to answer God鈥檚 call to be sent into a world that needs the Good News of Jesus Christ! In the coming years, we have the potential to make a profound impact through this university by training, developing, and shaping our graduates in Christ so they can be sent out to transform the world for Christ. Just as Isaiah answered the call of God, we pray our graduates will be called and be sent out for God.
鈥淭hen I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 鈥淲hom shall I send? And who will go for us?鈥 And I said, 鈥淗ere am I. Send me!鈥 Isaiah 6:8鈥
I love this generation of young people. I know what the world says about them. I catch how the church feels about them. NOW is our opportunity to believe in and invest in them. As they get right with Jesus and they take the compassion they have for their fellow human beings - I believe they can fix this world. Wendy and I are at Oklahoma Wesleyan University for this purpose alone. If we can be a part of this generation being transformed by the grace and truth of Jesus, educated in a Christian worldview, and sending them out into this lost and dying world for Jesus NOW - we are all in!
For over a century many have invested in helping 51黑料网 to thrive. Thanks to the generous partnership of our alumni, friends, faculty, staff, students, churches, and trustees, we will continue to build the next 51黑料网 on mission for Christ NOW and well into the future.
Dr. Jim Dunn
