Real Life

Congratulations Seniors!  You did it!

Oak Hills Christian College and Mokahum Ministry Center held it’s graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 7th. This year at Oak Hills Fellowship we honored  29 graduates! We are so proud of each of you. It's one of our favorite Christian community events of the year. Life for you now is going to be so different! Some of you already have jobs lined up and some of you are still looking. Keep your trust in God and he will put you where you are supposed to be.  

You've already experienced so many Christian college benefits, but I'm going to give you a few more pieces of advice as you begin your journey out into the "real world". You may not land your dream job right off the bat, but it may lead you to it, or train you in a way that you need to pursue that dream career.  In the spirit of helping you along the way, I offer you four important pieces of advice as you go out into the world.

HOORAY for Real Transformation! New construction has begun at Oak Hills.

The crews have started tearing up sidewalks and are currently digging for the plumbing. The official groundbreaking is going to occur on May 7th right after this spring's wonderful Senior class graduates! When it's done this project will help make Oak Hills one of the nicest Christian colleges in Minnesota.

It is an interesting concept, watching the crews work while I should be doing work in my office, but seeing the start of this new building is too exciting of an experience for me.  I’ve watched many students on the front porches of current residence halls watching the crews too.  Maybe I should tell them to do their homework?  I think they are just as excited to be moving into the new space as we are to see the new building go up.  This is a great step to improving Christian college student life. Currently, many of our younger students are staying in halls that were originally built in the 1950’s.  As we continue to work towards our goal of being one the country's top christian colleges, this upgrade is perfectly timed.

One of the things that Oak Hills is known for is the tightly-knit community we foster not only among the students but also with the faculty and staff.

One of the most popular events within the school are the Hostetter Cookie Nights, when the entire staff, faculty, and student body are invited to come to a fellowship at President Steven Hostetter’s house. There's nothing like a homemade cookie to make you feel like you belong.
