Making home for students in Oxford...

“So why are we still here?” we often ask ourselves. We arrived in Oxford as students in 1998, and quickly got involved in OCC and Fusion groups. We never imagined that we would still be here 9 years later! We reckon that we’re still here first and foremost because we found a family who were ready to welcome and make room for us. God has called us to be a family of young and old, learning to love one another.  They loved us through the messes that we made.

We found a family that believed in us, and was prepared to encourage us, and challenge us where necessary, to grow into the people that God has made us to be. And we’re also still here because we believe that God has called us as a church to play our part, alongside other churches and Christian groups, to share God’s love with the thousands of students who pass through our city and have no idea of his presence, his care and his perspective. If you’re new to Oxford, or are going to be soon, we’d love to be part of you finding a family, discovering your destiny, and making a difference to the people around us. John and Nom
