Real Life

Coming up on March 30-31, Oak Hills Christian College will host the first annual Chinook days. Deriving its name from a meteorological term that describes warm west winds which usher in spring, our hope is that Chinook will usher students into a new season of their spiritual lives.

Oak Hills Christian College’s campus is nestled in 185 acres of wooded, rolling hills overlooking serene Lake Marquette. As you can imagine, this nature-friendly campus provides students with endless activities to keep their bodies and souls healthy throughout the year, even in the dead of winter! While the sub-zero temperatures aren’t for the faint-hearted, Minnesota-approved winter gear and these winter activities will help you seize the deep freeze!

Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as one of the most influential figures in history. As a Christian minister, Dr. King’s main influences were the gospel and his faith in Jesus Christ, which he used as the foundation for his tireless civil rights efforts.

Deciding where to go to college is a big decision and a huge investment of time, money and hard work. What programs are available and what career or ministry do I want to pursue? What kinds of people will I meet? Will I stay close to home or study abroad? These are some of the questions you’ve probably pondered when considering one of the biggest decisions in your life so far.

It was a wild ride full of adventure, for the most part. There were amazing highs and precipitous drops accompanied by abrupt and sudden changes of direction. There were moments of sheer terror and moments of utter exhilaration. On the other hand, although rarely, it was sometimes languid and slow, tedious even. So what am I talking about? Whitewater rafting? Riding a roller coaster? Helicopter ride?

College is completely different from high school, in that it's an entire way of living, not simply a classroom. College will potentially be your home for the next four years: you'll meet your roommate and best friends, learn valuable life lessons, find your favorite late-night study spot, and discover the righteous path that God has planned for you.

Last week, Oak Hills Christian College received a pleasant email from LendEdu, a transparent marketplace for student loans and student loan refinance.
