Why Shine?

Jesus says a city on a hill cannot hide. It shines like the stars. We should be like that.

OBU is a place where you can grow in your faith, where you can think and prepare for the future, where you can question and find answers, and where you can shine like a city on a hill.

OBU has a vibrant campus life that brings you together within a community. This family atmosphere helps prepare you to be light, and provides a common experience with other students so that you will leave OBU with lifelong friends and a stronger faith.

Whether you want to be a teacher, pastor, business professional, nurse, musician, artist, journalist, physician, or scientist, we are committed to your success.
