Jesus said "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation" (Mark 16:15). Our congregation and leadership believe that we are to support those who undertake a mission, whether it is in our home community of Norman, elsewhere in the United States, or even in another country.

University Christian Church supports the following missions in prayer and with monthly financial support:

Camp Sooner – Oklahoma Christian Service Camp (OCSC) is located on 40 acres in Tecumseh, OK. They have 13 cabins, a nurse's cabin, dining hall, swimming pool, outdoor chapel, retreat center, and more. During the summer they focus on camp for youth in grades 1 – 12. The rest of the year they rent the camp out to various groups and organizations.

Damon and Juli operate a pediatric clinic in Abengourou, Cote d'Ivoire that meets the health needs of local children and provides contact with Muslim groups. They and their five children are also learning the Djoula language to strengthen evangelism among the Muslim people in and around Abengourou.

Restoration House Ministries plants Christian churches in New England.

Jair and Norma Castillo minister to their community by operating a medical clinic, a food distribution center, a children's home, and the El Ejido Christian Church in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico.

University Christian Church also supports Dallas Christian College through occasional gifts and sponsors a room at East Main Place in Norman, Oklahoma.

Please see additional missions resources.

We also follow the Lord's Word when He says, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was in prison and you came to visit me..." (Matthew 25:35-36). Taking Jesus' words to heart, we assist with benevolent requests to serve as a resource for the basic necessities of life. More importantly, the mission of benevolence allows us the opportunity to share the way to eternal life with Jesus Christ: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16).
