Chapel at ORU

Today is Wednesday...which means it's a Chapel day. Every Wednesday and Friday ORU's students and faculty come together for a one hour service of incredible worship and inspiring messages to grow deeper in God.


As a student, this is something that I truly appreciate about ORU. The Chapel services are real and relateable. During Chapel you can put everything else aside and focus on hearing from God. You can gain a new sense of your purpose and remember why you're going to push through your homework and get it done.


Along the balcony, the commission of Oral Roberts to build ORU can be read by every student as they leave the service:


Raise up your students to hear My voice, to go where My light is dim, where My voice is heard small, and My healing power is not known, even to the uttermost bounds of the earth. Their work will exceed yours, and in this I am well pleased.

This is why we do what we do. This is why we'll push through those long hours of studying and complete our assignments. This is why we aim to finish our studies...to go and do something in the world that will bring healing and light to a lost world that will exceed even the works of our founder...and through that, God will be not just be pleased, but well pleased.
