Current Needs & Projects
Your generous giving makes it possible for Oneida Baptist Institute to keep improving to meet the needs of the next generation!
Thank you!
Student Clubs
To give all of our students the opportunity to experience new activities and meet different people, we implemented weekly clubs that meet during school hours. This year, we would like to start a STEM Lego Technics club which requires the purchase of student kits. If you would like to contribute to this project, follow the link below or email our principal at: joe.scull@oneidaschool.org.

Walker Athletic Complex
In 2020, OBI received a pledge of one million dollars from Bob and Susan Walker. (Read more about the Walkers and their historical ties to OBI here.) This gift along with an anonymous gift of $500,000 designated for the athletic program at OBI allowed work to begin on a complete renovation of our outdoor sports facilities beginning with the construction of a new regulation track and soccer field.
Projects remaining in the Walker Athletic Complex are baseball and softball fields renovation plus an outdoor swimming pool. If you know of a group, organization or individual who would like to help with these projects, please put them in touch with OBI president Larry A. Gritton, Jr. If you would like to contribute to the construction expenses of the Walker Athletic Complex, follow this link:

Student Courtyard
Grants from the Kentucky Baptist Convention made possible the construction of a courtyard between the girls' and boys' dormitories. Upon completion, it will be an outdoor oasis for OBI students to relax and socialize.
If you would like to contribute to additional outdoor furnishings and landscaping expenses of the Student Courtyard, follow this link:

Rebuilding the Band Program
After a 2021 flood ruined much of the instruments in the old band room, we continue to rebuild and replace the items needed to have a successful band program at OBI. The biggest needs currently are for working clarinets, flutes and alto saxophones, a french horn and a drum set.
If you have an instrument you would like to donate, please email: tim.cochran@oneidaschool.org.
