Oak Hills Christian College is a small, private, nondenominational Christian college located on the Upper and Lower Marquette Lakes a few miles south of Bemidji, Minnesota. It is a division of Oak Hills Fellowship, which was founded in 1927 for the purpose of instructing youth and adults “in Bible without denominational emphasis or bias.” In addition to its many evangelistic ministries, the Fellowship opened Oak Hills Christian Training School, a residential college, in 1946. Over the years the Fellowship has changed the name of the school to Oak Hills Bible Institute (1959), Oak Hills Bible College (1985) and Oak Hills Christian College (1998).
In 2006 the college, which is Protestant and evangelical, had approximately 175 students enrolled in its bachelor of arts, associate in arts, and certificate in biblical studies programs.

“The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping”

“I walked on the banks of the tincan banana dock and sat down under the huge shade of a Southern Pacific locomotive to look at the sunset over the box house hills and cry.”

“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
