We were blessed to have Russell Coleman, Attorney General of Kentucky, as our guest speaker in chapel on February 28, 2025.
Through a connection with the KBC, we learned that Mr. Coleman attended OBI for one semester in high school. He graciously accepted our invitation to come and share with our students.
OBI President Gritton said, “It was a great honor to have Attorney General Russell Coleman on campus. He brought an awesome Christ-centered message to our students in our daily chapel service and was so gracious and kind as he engaged with our people. OBI is proud to call Mr. Coleman one of our own, and we are thrilled to have him advocating for so many wonderful causes all across our great Commonwealth.”
