OBU is in the midst of a once-in-a-century era of renewal as we join efforts to renew Raley Chapel. Inside this iconic structure, students have met for weekly chapel services for the past 60 years.
Here, hearts are changed, spirits moved, God's truth is taught, and lives are transformed. OBU has hosted concerts, recitals, Super Summer, graduations, revival services and more inside Raley Chapel. It is a focal point on campus and its majestic spire is visible within the Shawnee community reaching upward and bringing glory to God.
The overwhelming and extensive damage to Raley Chapel from the April 19, 2023 tornado included its spire, tiled roof, stonework, ceiling, stained glass and seating inside Potter Auditorium. Yet with vision and hope, we will rebuild this beloved building with greater fortitude and faith than ever before. We invite you to join us in our efforts to Renew Raley and continue its legacy of transforming lives and hearts on Bison Hill.
