历史
More than seventy years ago the Council of the Churches of Christ in Christian Union determined to establish a Christian college. After months of preparation, 1948年9月, what we now know as 俄亥俄州 Christian University (OCU) was opened as Circleville Bible College at 469 East 俄亥俄州 Street in Circleville, 俄亥俄州. As the college grew it was becoming increasingly clear that the 俄亥俄州 Street location would no longer be adequate, so more than forty acres was purchased just three (3) miles east of Circleville on US Route 22.
