Welcome to Ozark Christian College
Ozark Christian College is located on a spacious 95-acre campus in the city of Joplin in southwest Missouri. This area, termed “The Four States,??? is only a short drive from four major cities – Kansas City, MO, Fayetteville, AR, Branson, MO, and Tulsa, OK. This campus not only has a great location, but is also in Phase II of a four-phase master plan to expand OCC’s campus to accommodate 1,200 students.
Ozark Bible College was founded in 1942 as a classic four-year Bible College with only a handful of students. And despite changes through the years, the mission remains the same – to train men and women for Christian service through an undergraduate Bible college education.
The ultimate mission of OZARK CHRISTIAN COLLEGE is to glorify God by seeking the evangelization of the lost and the edification of Christians worldwide.
The immediate mission of OZARK CHRISTIAN COLLEGE is to train men and women for Christian service through an undergraduate Bible college education. Emphasis is given to vocational preparation for preaching ministers, missionaries, Christian educators, ministers of music, youth ministers, day-care directors and ministers to the deaf. Biblical and practical training is also provided for those who will serve in the church in non-vocational roles such as elders, deacons, Bible school teachers, and youth sponsors.
