About OU Missions

  • The OU Missions Network operates as a parent organization for multiple college ministries on OU's campus, each designed to reach unique student groups with their own ministry experience, culture, and context. "The Life College Ministry" launches Fall 2025 focused on reaching the general student body through campus outreach, student-led LifeGroups, and discipleship training and mentoring. Our network approach allows us to create specialized ministries for different campus communities while maintaining unity and shared resources under one organizational structure.

  • The OU Missions Network is an independent religious nonprofit with its own board of directors providing oversight and governance. We are a non-denominational ministry and local missions network exclusively dedicated to reaching the University of Oklahoma.

    We've established a strategic partnership with LifeSpring Church in Norman, OK, which serves as our "Home Church" partner where we offer students church involvement and community. This structure provides students with both campus ministry attention and a local church home.

  • OU Missions focuses on relational connections rather than recruitment. Students get involved through authentic friendships and outreach activities.

    A typical week for involved students includes attending weekly LifeGroups in campus locations, participating in our worship experience "The Life," and relational hangouts throughout the week. Our emphasis is always on building meaningful relationships and creating authentic community. We meet students where they are—physically on campus and spiritually in their journey.

  • At OU Missions, we recognize students as whole people with holistic needs, we care for their mental health, relationships, and life/career guidance. Our approach means student care always takes precedence over ministry agendas. We prioritize mental health by creating safe spaces for authentic conversation and connecting students with appropriate resources when needed. We provide academic and career development through peer mentoring, alumni connections, and vocational support. Our holistic approach creates a foundation of well-being that enhances spiritual growth rather than compartmentalizing faith from daily experience.
