The video course contains inspiring testimonies, real-life examples, and practical suggestions to help you be natural and relevant as you talk about Jesus with people around you. This Autumn, as part of our Season of Stepping into Evangelism, all of our Community Groups will be going through this course together.
For anyone who doesn't yet belong to one of our Community Groups, Steve and Bev will be hosting a weekly group at the King's Centre to go through the course, from Wednesday 4th October to 8th November.

It is also the third of our Gift Days this Sunday. OCC has always desired to bless the whole city, the region, and the nations, but the church's regular income alone isn't enough for our high level of giving and growth. We hope that these Gift Days act as a nudge to get us all into the groove of generosity - everyone is invited to add an offering. You can find out more on our Gift Days 2023 page. And if you would like to give, you can do so online here by choosing 'Oxford Gift Days'.
