CIRCLEVILLE, OH — Ohio Christian University is inviting the community to join students, faculty, and alumni for a day of worship and celebration on Tuesday, October 7, as the school begins a new annual tradition.
The day will open with a University Chapel service at 9:25 a.m. in the Ministry and Performing Arts Center, where President R.D. Saunders will deliver an inspirational message.
Following the service, at 10:15 a.m., the university will host its first “Oaks of Righteousness” dedication ceremony near the Dr. David Case Clocktower. As part of this new tradition, OCU will plant an oak tree each year to honor its incoming class. The inaugural planting will recognize the Class of 2029, symbolizing growth, strength, and faith.
“We are excited to begin this new tradition, reminding our community that just as these trees will take root and flourish, so too will our students as they grow in faith, knowledge, and service,” said President Saunders.
The public is invited to attend both the chapel service and the tree dedication as OCU adds a new chapter to its history.
