Last week, Ohio Christian University’s Atlanta site in Georgia was awarded Member of the Week by the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce for outstanding commitment and service to the community. President of the Chamber Monica Colbert presented the award with two other members of the chamber to the campus. The Atlanta site has been a member of the Chamber for four years and has worked hard to impact the surrounding community, which boast over 6000 businesses.
In an effort serve their community, the Atlanta site has opened up their chapel for community events, including several job fairs. In the past six months, the site has hosted eight community events, including the “I Am Teen & Young Adult Job Fair,” which was seen as very successful in preparing young adults for the workforce. The event offered assistance in resumé writing, internships, and job opportunities.
It was for efforts like these that the Atlanta site was recognized for their service in the community. Through service and community engagement, Ohio Christian’s Atlanta site is shining as a powerful light for Christ in the greater Atlanta area.

Importance of Strategic Planning at OCU
Published: July 30, 2018
By Dr. Hank Kelly, Provost
If you want to go to Los Angeles, California, you must decide how to get
there: by driving, taking the bus or train, flying, hitchhiking, or
walking. You must decide also when to go, what you will bring, and what to
do when you get there. In other words, you must make a plan, or you might
not ever get to Los Angeles.
Sometimes organizations spend too much time ‘putting out fires’ or
‘fighting alligators’ instead of ‘draining the swamp.’ We need to
spend more time on what is important, to spend more time on the dream than
the routine.

Bible-based, Ministry Motivated, Student Oriented, and so on. And, while
all these values are important, none is more important than
Christ-Centered.
