J.F. Oberlin University<\/a> is a private four-year university located in Machida, a suburb of Tokyo, Japan. Founded in 1946 by Reverend Yasuzo Shimizu, the university comprises<\/span> a College of Arts and Sciences, a graduate division, and four professional colleges. In the late 1920s, Rev. Shimizu attended Oberlin College in Ohio, U.S.A., where he learned about the educational philosophy of Jean-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Oberlin, an 18th-century minister and educator in France. As a tribute to the educator whose ideas influenced Rev. Shimizu, in 2006, the English name of the school was changed to J. F. Oberlin University. With an enrollment of over 9,000 students, many of them from overseas, J. F. Oberlin University seeks to foster global citizens based on Christian values. J. F. Oberlin University is affiliated with the United Church of Christ in Japan and all of its chaplains\u00a0are ordained ministers in the UCCJ, including Rev. Jeffrey Mensendiek, who, as a Global Ministries mission co-worker has taught and served as a chaplain at J. F. Oberlin University <\/span>since April 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","region":[20019,20018],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJ.F.
