What is PURSUE?
PURSUE equips high school juniors, seniors and recent graduates who want to serve in vocational ministry as a career. Students will experience Ozark Christian College and learn more about training for the kingdom assignment God has for them.
On-campus housing is available for attendees.
Pursue students will attend two classes, interact with current Ozark students and professors, and attend sessions to hear about what it means to be called by God and how to pursue him in their lives right now. They will enjoy five meals on campus (breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Friday and breakfast and lunch on Saturday).
Included in the cost of registration is a free sweatshirt for all attendees.
Students who attend Pursue and submit an admissions application prior to leaving campus will receive a $1,400 Ozark Scholarship to OCC!
