Find & Follow Jesus Together
At Oklahoma Wesleyan University we are committed to the transformation of the whole person, for the whole world. This transformation into Christ-likeness is found at the intersection of worship, discipleship, fellowship, and servant leadership. You are made in the image of Christ for the sake of others, to the glory of God.
Live like Jesus. Love like Jesus. Lead like Jesus.
This is the invitation the Apostle Paul extends to Philippians as he identifies Jesus as the chief example of who we ought to shape our own life after.
Jesus said it Himself throughout the Gospels: He came to serve, not be served (Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45, John 13:1-17,). If we, created in the very image of God (Genesis 1:27), are to live, lead, and love like Jesus, “who being in very nature God” (Philippians 2:6), then that means we too were made to serve, not be served.
Just like Jesus. We are committing ourselves to a journey of discovering the ways of Jesus this year; discovering who Jesus is and how we were made to live, lead, and love like Him! Because we believe we are Made For This!
