Only you can discern if the Lord is leading you here, so I invite you to give us a careful, prayerful look. Whether you’re preparing for full-time Christian service or simply looking for a stronger biblical foundation for your faith, your experience at Ozark will be marked by: Excellent Bible teaching. We really believe that “all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching...so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim 3:16-17). Our curriculum backs our commitment— every graduate takes a strong core of top-notch Bible classes. Practical ministry training. Here at Ozark, you can take classes on how to preach, teach, counsel, grow a youth ministry, lead worship, organize a team of volunteers, lead someone to Christ, or enter a new culture as a missionary. You’ll learn the skills necessary for ministry in the twenty-first century. Caring campus community. Our students consistently mention the family atmosphere on campus as one of our greatest strengths. Professors know your name. Fellow students care. Residence hall directors become like a second mom and dad. You’ll form relationships here that you’ll carry with you for life. Sense of mission. A theme verse for our college is Mark 10:45—“not to be served, but to serve.” At OCC, you’ll catch a greater vision for reaching out to others with the love and truth of Christ, and you’ll leave with a clearer sense of life purpose. Choosing a college is one of the biggest decisions anyone can make, so read closely, check out our website, and feel free to contact us with any questions. Let me especially encourage you to come to campus soon for a visit. Sit in on a class, attend one of our inspiring chapel services, meet a few professors, and talk with some of the students who come to us from over 30 states and 10 foreign countries. I look forward to a more personal meeting in the days ahead. Let us know how we can help! Who knows what God has in mind? This catalog could be the start of a whole new life. Matt Proctor
