God has given us a big vision: to see our city renewed and nations transformed. We’d love you to be part of it.
We’re a church community learning to follow Jesus together, pursuing the abundant life he offers, and discovering our purpose. Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or are exploring faith for the first time, there’s a place for you here. We believe we are made for more.
More Life
You were made by a loving God who has a vision for your life.
Jesus said that he came to bring ‘life to the full’. When we put our trust in him, he gives us a fresh start, a new identity, freedom from things that enslave us, and the gift of eternal life. He also gives us a new purpose, inviting us to join him in bringing life and blessing to the world around us.
More Love
The God of the Bible is a God of love, who invites us into his family.
We were made to flourish through deep relationship with our Creator. So, we seek to know God more, spending time in his presence through worship, and allowing his word to shape every area of our lives. As we do so, God promises to guide and empower us by his Holy Spirit, giving us gifts, shaping our character, and equipping us to love others freely.
More People
God is the Father of a growing family, and there’s always room for more.
We were made to thrive in community. We want our church to be a big family where people from every nation, culture, age and background find their place. We care deeply about serving our city, inviting all people to experience God’s love and transforming power. And we’re passionate about taking this message to the nations – particularly to places where Jesus is not yet known.
More Purpose
God has a great purpose for your life, and we want to help you find it.
You were made with gifts, skills, and passions, designed to bless this world. We’re committed to helping everyone discover their God-given purpose, so they can bring his truth, goodness and beauty wherever they go. And together, we’re seeking to discover fresh ways to bring life to our city, care for those in need, and share Jesus with all people.

Empowered by the Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit still speaks, guides and heals today. We seek to follow him, using his gifts in our everyday life.

We take truth seriously, wrestling with big questions and seeking answers from the Bible. We apply what we learn, to become more like Jesus.
Our story so far
Oxford Community Church began in 1985, with a vision of building family, reaching students, and going to the nations. And we recently celebrated 40 years of continuing to do just that. Find out more about our story and our wider connections.
