Online BA Student

“My professors at OBU have been encouraging, supportive, and have provided a safe space for me to process, chew on, and develop my relationship with Christ and my call into His ministry. Being able to finish my degree online while also getting hands-on experience in the field I am called to has helped strengthen me spiritually in my relationship with Jesus, and has also benefited me emotionally, mentally, and physically.”
