1 Making a Difference 2013 Annual Report Founded by General Baptists in 1885

2 OCU. The Difference. A letter from the President Dear Generous Friends of OCU: Oakland City University is making a difference. Our sacred University distinguishes itself from the majority of higher education institutions through an emphasis on spiritual formation. Robert Mullholland, Jr. defines spiritual formation as the process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others. Mullholland s definition and the University s motto, Enter to Learn Go Forth to Serve, run parallel. Our greatest joy is developing the head, the heart, and the hands of students in service to God. 2 Making a difference 2013 Annual Report

3 Because of your prayers & financial support, major strategic goals were accomplished this past year: Launching several new academic programs including: a Bachelor s degree in Worship Arts, and Master s degrees in Teaching Curriculum and Instruction, Building Level Administrator, Education in Sports Science and Strategic Management. Additionally, several new online programs have been implemented including: an Associate s degree in Religious Studies, Bachelor s degrees in Criminal Justice, Business Administration, and a Master s degree in Business Administration. Since its construction in 1968, the Chapel (known as the Provance Memorial Chapel, in memory of Mrs. Jean Provance) has served as a spiritual center for the OCU experience. This past year, the Provance Memorial Chapel has undergone major renovations including: structural foundation repair, a new roof, and interior remodeling. Thanks to your stewardship over $150,000 was raised for the Provance Memorial Chapel renovations. Oakland City University entered into a collaborative effort with the Indiana Department of Corrections to provide educational programming within eight correctional facilities. The inaugural President s Golf Classic commenced at the Cambridge Golf Club and generated over $52,000 supporting the mission of the University. OCU students and staff served in various service learning opportunities, e.g. a missions trip to Faith Home in Honduras. Our largest team of record (24) ministered by sharing their testimonies to numerous Hondurans and orphaned children. Additionally, OCU students served overseas through internships in China and Saipan. Multiple named endowment scholarships were added to the University s 100+ endowment scholarship funds. The Dr. James Wilson Murray Endowment was created in honor and loving memory of former OCU President Dr. James Murray. The Murray Endowment will benefit needy General Baptist students answering God s calling into vocational ministries. The family and friends of the late Rev. Tony Kevin Eskew established the Rev. Tony Kevin Eskew Endowment. An OCU alumnus and Senior Pastor at Bloomfield General Baptist church is remembered through the creation of this endowed scholarship. OCU dedicated a new coffee shop named by students Holy Grounds in the Bower-Suhrheinrich Student Life Center. Holy Grounds is now open for business and proudly serves Starbucks coffee. As Oakland City University looks forward to a new year, we thank God for His continued presence on our campus. Through God s grace, OCU has existed since It is because of God s grace, our faculty, staff, and students have a sense of higher calling. This is why the spiritual formation of OCU students continues to be a high priority. Pray for us, as we conform the lives of our students to the image of Christ for the sake of others. Thank you for supporting the Kingdom s work at Oakland City University! In His Service, Over $250,000 was raised to create a new formal campus entrance. Ray G. Barber, D.Min. 85, 88 President Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God s will is his good, pleasing and perfect will. ~ Romans 12:1-2 OCUAdvancement.com 3

4 Don t Forget to Remember Doug Johnson, Senior, OCU Student It is because of an opportunity through Oakland City University that a difference has been made in my life. A few months ago, I boarded a plane in Atlanta, Georgia, with a final destination to San Pedro Sula, Honduras in Central America. I had never been to Honduras, nor had I ever been on an international missions trip. I had no idea of what to really expect. I just knew that I wanted a life change. I truly wanted to be broken and put back together differently than when I started. God used me to change lives in Central America. Over the course of eight days and seven nights, I managed to laugh, cry, work, sleep, smile, sing, play and love in a way I never had before. Each morning, at six a.m. the OCU team split up with some of our group painting a house in preparation for a soon-arriving family of missionaries, while the rest of our team did construction work in places throughout the village. Although we had a diverse team with different interests and backgrounds, we had one goal that week love on the people of Honduras. We primarily ministered to the children at the Faith Home orphanage. We also had opportunities every day to go to different villages where we fellowshipped, delivered food and attended church. Each night our group was blessed with the opportunity to sing Our God (by Chris Tomlin) during the worship service. Honduras was hot, sweaty, bug infested, dirty, yet beautifully amazing. I wish that I could somehow paint a picture or come up with the right combination of words to give you a visual idea of what we experienced together. Honduras reaffirmed my Never Stop Smiling mission and showed me, firsthand, that a smile truly does speak in all languages. A smile truly can alter one s mood and change his or her day. Never Stop Smiling. Probably the most flooring moment of my Honduras trip occurred as our team loaded up Saturday morning and headed back to the airport. I was literally struggling to let go of the little children as we said our goodbyes. I saw the look on their faces. I am sure they observed the same look on my face. I knew that no matter what I had done in my past, no matter how many regrets I had, no matter where I had been or what I had seen, God used me to change lives in Central America. I knew as we said goodbye that I would never be the same person again. God used the broken children of Faith Home Honduras to change my life. I think I can represent the entire OCU Missions group when I say our hearts will always be heavy for Honduras as we left a piece of us in Central America.

5 Making a Difference in Worship Arts we recognize that God has big plans. Throughout scripture, the Bible speaks of the importance of worship. As believers of our Lord, Jesus Christ, we understand that God longs for our worship. Beginning in the fall of 2013, Oakland City University launched a new Bachelor s degree in Worship Arts. OCU hired Andrew Goldman 12 as Worship Arts Admissions Counselor and Chris Cook 13 as Worship Arts Lecturer. These fine young men head a new program that directly impacts church ministry. Andrew Goldman states: Our goal is to greatly increase the number of Worship Arts majors within three years. The program is currently located in the School of Arts and Sciences. However, the Chapman School of Religious Studies is working on a second track for students desiring a greater emphasis in pastoral ministry. Andrew says: Our current approach is from the standpoint of educating individuals who desire to lead worship. When the other degree in Religious Studies with a worship concentration is finalized, then we will have both models. Chris Cook adds: Andrew and I bring an interesting dynamic to the program. Andrew has the performance background. I add the music education expertise to the Worship Arts degree. Currently, the new degree has started with several students and the forecast is bright for the Worship Arts program. Additionally, President Barber is strategically launching a new contemporary praise and worship band, The Great Command, as an outreach to congregations. The University s Earthlight group will continue its long history of serving General Baptist churches. This new group will carry out a similar focus leading churches in praise and worship music. Andrew believes: We can promote the Worship Arts program through the ministry of our student music groups, campus events such as Soulfest, and even through networking with other Christian organizations and schools. He goes on to say: The potential is oozing out of this place and we recognize that God has big plans. Oakland City University is making a difference in the lives of students through the Worship Arts program. It is our goal to provide churches across the country with educated and equipped worship leaders making an eternal difference. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. ~ John 4:23-24 OCUAdvancement.com 5

6 Making a Difference Financially Each year OCU graduates take what they have learned and use that knowledge to change the world and to reflect the image of God to others around them. Internal changes in the lives of students are made because of scholarships and grants. Oakland City University strives to help students obtain a quality Christian education through providing the financial assistance and support in every way possible. We continue to focus on: increasing the academic expectation of our students; enriching the spiritual formation of each life; and providing experiences on the mission field that effect how students think globally. You are an integral part of this equation. Your support of OCU directly translates into lives changed and the world impacted. We work to keep tuition affordable for all students by offering University scholarships; we provide student support services such as tutoring, academic advising and career services all to ensure that OCU students are successful.

As we labor together for the cause of Christian education, I pray God continues to bless you and your family. In His Service, Brian J.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. ~ II Corinthians 9:6-8 Board of Trustees Chairman Dr. Curtis C.
