Oikos University Successfully Celebrates 2025 Commencement Ceremony, Marking Its 21st Anniversary

– Inspiring Graduates Worldwide to Pursue Their Divine Calling under the Theme of “Give Yourself Wholly to Them”
– Continuing a Powerful Ascension as a Prestigious Global Christian Institution following TRACS Accreditation

“A monumental convergence where deep spirituality meets global intellectual leadership— Oikos University opens a new chapter for Christian education as its 21st anniversary cohort steps out to heal a fractured world. Journalists are cordially invited to witness this transformative journey.”

[California, USA] Oikos University (President Dr. Jongin Kim), a premier crucible for nurturing global Christian leaders, successfully celebrated its 21st Anniversary Graduation Worship Service and Commencement Ceremony, attended by graduates from both the United States and various corners of the globe.

This commencement held profound historical significance, serving as a prominent stage to showcase Oikos University’s growing international stature since receiving its structural institutional accreditation from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS)—a regular accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

“Give Yourself Wholly to Them”… A Worship of Spiritual Calling and Holistic Healing
Moving far beyond a conventional diploma presentation, the commencement was conducted as a solemn yet celebratory worship service, magnifying the university’s foundational philosophy of holistic healing (SANUS).

The service centered on the biblical text of 1 Timothy 4:15, “Give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.” The message powerfully challenged the graduates to maintain an unceasing trajectory of spiritual and academic advancement, urging them to manifest true progress as godly leaders in their respective communities. Graduates who completed their rigorous coursework across global campuses and international online educational portals united in person and spirit, pledging to serve as agents of healing and reconciliation in a complex, post-secular society.

Emerging as a Multinational Academic Paradigm… Enhancing the Stature of a Comprehensive University
According to the official academic report presented during the ceremony, Oikos University has proven its global expansion with a steady influx of students from over 30 countries. Since securing its regular federal accreditation, the university has continuously refined its multi-disciplinary academic infrastructure, seamlessly operating its School of Theology, School of Music, School of Business, School of Art, and Department of Cultural Anthropology to cultivate deep academic and ministerial excellence.

In his official address, President Dr. Jongin Kim expressed his profound admiration for the graduating class: “I am immensely proud of our graduates who have persevered through countless trials and personal sacrifices to behold this glorious harvest today. I earnestly charge you to utilize the spiritual depth and professional expertise you have forged here at Oikos to bind up the brokenhearted, heal a suffering world, and stand tall as true Christian trailblazers.”
