For 100 years, God's faithfulness to Bob Jones University has been unmistakable.
In 1927, God used evangelist Bob Jones Sr. to establish a college devoted to biblical truth and Christ-centered education. That bold step of faith became a lasting testimony to God’s provision and purpose—one that continues to impact lives around the world.
This centennial year, we invite you to join us as we celebrate God’s faithfulness throughout our first century and renew our commitment to BJU’s mission for the century ahead. By His help and for His glory, Bob Jones University will continue to prepare students to pursue a higher calling—following and reflecting Christ in every area of life.
