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—
Now More Than Ever
Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will
go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Our dedication to equip and empower the next generation is clear and unshakable.
Through the generosity of our donors to the NOW campaign and to future campaigns, OKWU’s mission of advancing the Kingdom of Christ boldly continues firmly on our four pillars— the Primacy of Jesus Christ, the Priority of Scripture, the Pursuit of Truth, and the Practice of Wisdom.
What will it take?
Prayer
As OKWU faces the challenge of tomorrow, we need prayer partners to lift up OKWU NOW. It is through the intercession of prayer partners that OKWU has experienced such a blessed history. Our humble, daily request is that God would provide exactly what we need and that He would do His supernatural work in and through us every day.
Teamwork
Your advocacy is critical as the NOW campaign moves forward. It will take teamwork to advance
OKWU’s mission into the future. Your help in identifying individuals, churches, organizations, foundations, and prospective students who might join us in our ministry is important to our continued long-term success.
Generosity
More specifically, extreme generosity is needed for the success of this vision. Every gift lives on in the way our graduates answer God’s call, raise their children, lead in the workforce, and proclaim Christ’s grace and truth to our world.

“OKWU’s commitment to an education within a Biblical framework is rare, and why we continue to support and serve this great university! Coaches, professors, and friends had an immeasurable impact on my life. Some might say it was eternally significant in fact.”
