Oak Hills Christian College

Oak Hills Christian College has deep roots in the Minnesota Northwoods. From its start in 1946, we have been teaching, training and transforming those who have come here for service in God’s Kingdom for over 70 years.

Oak Hills Christian College is a unique learning community that is making a significant impact in our region, our nation, and the world. As a student you will be immersed in the study of the Word of God. Through constant engagement with the Bible you will grow in your love for God and for people. You will be encouraged and challenged to think biblically. You will find direction for your life. You will be equipped to utilize your unique personal gifts in a way that makes an impact for Jesus wherever he leads you.

As a student you will study, learn, grow, play, laugh, cry, and pray together with fellow students, many of whom will become life-long friends. You will be part of a close-knit community that serves as a catalyst for your personal spiritual growth.

Through the Student Outreach program, you’ll have opportunity to use what you’re learning in serving others. Internships, mission trips, and a variety of campus events will help shape your passion and calling, and increase your effectiveness as a follower of Christ.

Oak Hills Christian College is a Christian academic community whose mission is to provide biblically centered higher education which contributes to growth toward Christlikeness and prepares students for effective service in their homes, careers, churches, and communities.

To accomplish its mission, OHCC uses the means of undergraduate higher education, including the study of the Bible as central to the formation of a Christian life and worldview; the study of human thought, history, and culture; the study of the theory and skills of Christian ministry; and the application of this learning in ministry and internship experiences.

This academic program is conducted within the context of a Christian college community in which all members are encouraged to treat each other respectfully as persons made in the image of God. Oak Hills seeks to serve a broad section of qualified students who profess faith in Christ and who desire a Bible-centered education. This educational foundation is provided through programs leading to our degrees.
