What's On

Many today consider the church to be outdated, irrelevant, and deeply flawed. Yet the Bible calls the church ‘the manifold wisdom of God.’ In the opening talk of this series, Liam Thatcher looks at Ephesians 3, and considers the counter-intuitive way God views His people.

Join us this Sunday to welcome Guest Speaker, Dr. Balkrishna Sharma, the principal of Nepal Theological College. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy from Oxford Centre for Missions Studies, and is dedicated to both education and theology.

We will be holding a Church Family Meeting on Sunday 15th September at 19.45. This will be an opportunity for us to share some updates following our meeting in May; to talk more about our vision to be a growing church; to talk and pray about our community groups; to discuss some pastoral matters, and to consider further how we can welcome diverse people to explore the Christian faith with us at Oxford Community Church. Please do join us. 

We are looking forward to welcoming you and your little ones to enjoy messy play, crafts, Bible stories and songs. Our hope is that we can support and encourage you during your mornings with us at Tiny Tots +.

Jesus prayed for his church, that they would be one, even as the Trinity – Father, Son and Spirit – are one. In this talk, Liam Thatcher considers the call and challenge of unity, and how a unified church can be a powerful witness in a divided world.

For the Jewish people the Temple was the centre of their lives. It was the place where they worshipped and brought sacrifices; the place where God and humanity could meet. In this talk, Dan Kirk considers what it means for the church today to be a Holy Temple.

Paul regularly describes the church like a body, of which Christ is the head. In this talk, Anthony Akinwale explores what it means for the church to be the body of Christ, and how we each need one another, if we are to be a healthy and fully-functioning body.

Throughout the Bible God’s people are depicted as a bride. We are His beloved, called into intimate relationship. In this talk, Sanjay Mahtani explores our calling to be the Bride of Christ, and how he longs for us to live in love and purity.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus used a selection of images to describe his people: salt, light, and a city on a hill. In the final talk of this series, Susanna considers what it means for the church to be visible, so that people might see our good deeds and glorify God.
