Welcome to FCFS at OSU
This is the home of the Fellowship of Christian Faculty and Staff on the campus of Oklahoma State University.
We gather as men and women who love the academy, who find the person and works of Jesus of Nazareth to be satisfying and true, and who look to Him as the beautiful hope for the world.
We dream of the day when there are small movements of believing professors and professional staff on campus, circles of people gathering for the exchange of ideas and the sharing of lives. People who are willing to wrestle with the ever-challenging question, "As a follower of Jesus Christ, what should I be and do in the academy?"

Welcome Gift to New Professors
Our organization gives a welcome gift to new professors at OSU. Inside the gift they will find several items we believe they will enjoy. Included is a booklet on how to make tenure. It is our hope that each professor feels welcomed by us and that they will find success in the academy (including tenure) as well as achieve an integrated and balanced life.
FCFS Remembers Dr. Robert Kamm
Dr. Kamm served as OSU president from 1966 to 1977 and was a part of Oklahoma State University community for more than 45 
years. He and his wife, Maxine were loved by faculty, staff, and students.
Dr. Kamm was a devout man and his faith was an integral part of his life. He had a love for Jesus which was winsome. He was a warm and caring man, genuine and friendly. He treated all people the same whether it was a dean or one of the people who cleaned his office.
Dr. Kamm was instrumental in the formation of this organization and FCFS is establishing a Distinguished Christian Service Award in their names to honor them for their service to both OSU and the Fellowship of Christian Faculty and Staff. The award recognizes the distinguished service of individuals who emulate the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth through their teaching, research, and service at OSU and abroad, and who contribute to the success of the Fellowship of Christian Faculty and Staff.

Prayer
Our Father in heaven, reveal who you are.
Set the world right; do what's best -- as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You're in charge! You can do anything you want! You're ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes. Matthew 6: 9-11 [The Message Bible]
