Courses at OCC
At Oxford Community Church, we are passionate about seeing people equipped for every area of life.
We run a wide range of training courses, both in-house and in partnership with Salt and Light Advance. Check out our current courses, and see if there’s one you’d like to join.
Alpha Course
Curious about the Christian faith?
What is the meaning of life? Is there a God? How could a God of love allow so much suffering? Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
Alpha is a series of group conversations exploring the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment.
Everyone’s welcome. No matter your background or beliefs.
School of Leadership
Leadership for all of life
School of Leadership is run in partnership with Salt and Light Advance, and is a leadership development course for those exploring leadership for the first time, or those new to leadership within our churches.
Over just a few months, a rhythm of discipleship groups and training sessions will help you step into the call of God to lead as a Christian at work, in the community, at college, or in the church.
School of the Spirit
Live in the power of the Holy Spirit
School of the Spirit is a six-month course for followers of Jesus who want to go deeper in their knowledge and experience of the Holy Spirit.
Through a combination of teaching, ministry, worship, and small groups, we will learn to live lives more like Jesus: secure in our God-given identity, filled with His power, and equipped to carry the Kingdom of God wherever we are.
We will take risks, learn to depend on him, and have fun together on the journey. The course runs each year from October to March.
Upper Room
Think biblically and lead with faith
A two-year theology and leadership programme, developing leaders who think biblically, relate graciously and lead with faith.
Through a mixture of day courses, self-study, discipleship groups, and regular mentoring, Upper Room will equip you to think critically and robustly, in a relational context.
This course is run in partnership with Salt and Light Advance. Get a taste of what to expect, and find out when the next cohort will begin.
