About “Alive”
ALIVE is about OWU raw!
OWU is not just a bunch of buildings in northeast Oklahoma doing education. We are a University that is very much ALIVE with students, faculty, staff and administration striving each and every day to LIVE and LEARN. And we aren’t willing to do it just like every other university. We do see things differently. You better be ready for an authentically Christian university.
If you’re ok with an anonymous, neutral college experience, surf on – because here you will find real people who really want to know you, each other and Jesus.
Hang out with us and get ready to join in!
About “OKWU”
As an evangelical Christian university of The Wesleyan Church, Oklahoma Wesleyan University models 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.
Our Pillars
- The primacy of Jesus Christ as the incarnate Son of God, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, who is the lens for all learning and the Lord of our daily lives.
- The priority of Scripture as the inerrant and authoritative written Word of God that guides us in all matters of faith, learning, and living.
- The pursuit of Truth as an objective, attainable reality grounded in the person and example of Jesus Christ and anchored in the Bible.
- The practice of Wisdom as the goal for all members of the university community, who work to promote healing and wholeness in a broken culture and hurting world.
