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.
