CBF Oklahoma closed on the sale of its property to the University of Oklahoma on Sept. 30 and has until Dec. 30 to move into a new administrative headquarters, which it bought in cash.

The surplus funded an endowment of about $1 million with the CBF Foundation to support the group's ministries. Talk of moving began in 2022, when a major plumbing problem raised questions about the building, which directly adjoins campus and new dorms.

Executive Director Kyle Tubbs said the university made its first offer this year, after years of relationship-building, and did not invoke eminent domain. He said the move will help the fellowship continue its mission of serving Christ and opposing Christian nationalism.
