The OOABI Certificate Program is designed to equip the whole person by combining rigorous study and spiritual sensitivity to God’s revelation through Scripture, so that the student might know Christ more fully, and might powerfully and lovingly represent Him in the Church and in the world.
Through online collaborations, the Institution educates men and women who will make important contributions to their workplaces and communities, follow their chosen vocations as callings to glorify God, and fulfill the Great Commission.
