Oklahoma Wesleyan University

Then & Now

For more than 115 years, Oklahoma Wesleyan University has focused on helping students discover and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ in order to be sent out to influence culture with grace and truth.

Our goal is big – $68 million dollars by 2030 so that we can secure the next 100 years of Oklahoma Wesleyan. The NOW Campaign is about two things – people and programs. We believe in this generation and want to invest in them with scholarships, endowments, improved facilities, and more.

Now more than ever, the world needs OKWU graduates, who are equipped and empowered as leaders with the transforming power of the Gospel. With your help, thousands more will be sent out with a Biblically-centered education to impact the world.
