One characteristic of our denomination is that we value education and life-long learning. There are Colleges, Universities, Seminaries, and Divinity Houses dotting the countryside of our Nation that were founded long ago and remain related to the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). These institutions of higher education serve the diversity of humanity, and help students explore their context, become critical thinkers, and, for the curious, sort through the religion of their choice. Within driving distance of our Region are several Disciples related institutions of higher education: Eureka College, Drury University, Jarvis Christian College, Phillips Theological Seminary, Texas Christian University, and Brite Divinity School.

Rev. Michael Davison, took a group of youth to TCU, Sept 21, for the Monday @ TCU event. This day is sponsored by TCU and provides students (high school juniors and seniors) and their parents the chance to learn about TCU. One of the things you hear at the end of the day is that students need to choose the college or university that is the best fit for them and their education. As your high school senior or junior begins to consider higher education, or if you are thinking about a return to complete your degree or work on a post-graduate degree, make sure a Disciples related College, University, or Seminary is on the list to explore and consider.
As a graduate of two Disciples schools – Drury University and Brite Divinity School-TCU – and having served in ministry at those schools and now at Eureka College, and having met innumerable people from other Disciples schools, this article is spot on. Thank you, Christian Church in Oklahoma! Eureka College loves our Oklahoma current students and recent alums – Hattie Standridge and Colton Lott. Oklahoma Disciples, ya’ll come visit Eureka!
