Our founders would be pleased to know that the cause for which they struggled and sacrificed is still alive and well today. While Oakland City University is conscious of the call of God, honoring our ties to the General Baptist denomination, and mindful of the church universal, we welcome all people from all faiths to realize their educational dream. Oakland City University stands for academic excellence in a warm, Christian environment. Oakland City University's motto is "ENTER TO LEARN-GO FORTH TO SERVE." Not only do we stand proudly on the meaning of that phrase as individuals, but we go forth as a university to provide the highest quality Christian education! |
