Welcome to the OCC:STUDENTS website

Firstly, if you're a fresher, welcome to Oxford! We hope your first few weeks here are thoroughly enjoyable and that you soon feel at home in your new city.

Starting university is a time of great transition and activity but we hope that you’ll find the time to find the church that God wants you to be a part of in Oxford.

After arriving as freshers in 2004, we have found a home at OCC. A home with a caring family, freedom in worship, inspiring and challenging Bible teaching, a missional focus and, perhaps most significant, fusion groups of students who have become close friends and spiritual brothers and sisters as we’ve gone through ups and downs together.

We’re really excited about what God has in store for the students at OCC in the coming year. Recently He’s spoken to us prophetically about becoming known not just for the remarkable, but the miraculous. Miracles are the kingdom of God breaking in on earth, bringing salvation, freedom, healing and NEW LIFE. So our vision is this: sharing new life with you.

One of the key ways that we share life is through fusion groups. These small groups are all about getting Jesus into our universities. We don't want to retreat from uni into church meetings, but to take our wonderful, prayerful, transforming, truth-speaking Christian community and plant it right in the middle of uni life! At a fusion group you can expect to have fun, meet new people, pray, worship, read the Bible together, and plan and do mission in a way that you’re passionate about (see the fusion groups page).

There isn’t a better way to see what we’re about than to get along to a fusion group or to come along on Sunday. Our Sunday meetings help us to encounter and to know God, so that we are strengthened in living for him throughout the week. On Sundays, our meetings start at 10:30am and you’ll find us here. If you'd like to find out more details about anything we do, or would like to walk down to church with someone, please e-mail us. The meeting usually finishes by 12:30pm and we often have lunch afterwards.
