The Avenue of Flags is the main entrance to Oral Roberts University, and is lined with lighted flags representing more than 60 nations from which ORU students have come. The 3,500 seat Christ’s Chapel is the location of bi-weekly university chapel services and was constructed in a drape-like fashion as an homage to Oral Roberts’ early tent revivals.
