Our Vision
To demonstrate the power of implementing God’s counsel for the Seventh-day Adventist church in the field of educational endeavor by providing an environment that fosters the well-rounded development described in those counsels.
And Much More…
In addition to being aptly prepared for their chosen profession, our students are enabled to cultivate habits of deep Bible study, practical work, and compassionate witnessing.
Literature-Canvassing Ministry
Ouachita Hills College is deeply committed to ministry. The literature ministry was a key factor allowing the college to begin and providing necessary funds to sustain it. Today, OHC students participate in many forms of ministry, but the canvassing ministry remains a principal component. Students spend two weeks each quarter in canvassing, the proceeds providing the college with much needed funds and the experience providing student with skills and joy in ministry.
Canvassing Work
As God blesses the minister and the evangelist in their earnest efforts to place the truth before the people, so He will bless the faithful canvasser.
