Great Books for Christian Reading
Chris Stead unpacks his list of significant books that have shaped his journey as a Christian, student, pastor, and theological educator, and explains why we might want to consider reading them too.
Deep rooted training for Christ centred ministry
Ministry
for the
real world
for the
real world
The church needs leaders who know Christ richly, who are ready to serve others as he served us, and are thoroughly equipped for ministry in our complex world. To meet that need, Oak Hill offers deep-rooted training and a range of resources for Christ-centred ministry.
Whatever ministry you have in mind, whether Independent or Anglican, leading or planting churches, youth and children’s ministry, ministry amongst women, serving in cross-cultural mission, or anything else, we are here to equip you for that work.
Full & part time study
Our programmes of study are all designed to provide a deep and broad theological training to meet the demands of gospel ministry. As well as a core of compulsory modules, you can select options tailored to whatever ministry you have in mind, whether that’s church leadership, youth and children's ministry, cross-cultural mission, evangelism, or other pastoral ministries. You can study many of our programmes full time or part time.
Flexible Learning modules
Flexible Learning modules are for people wanting to start theological study, for people wanting to expand their knowledge of a particular area, or be equipped for more effective ministry, whether at home, at church, in the community or in the workplace.
Open Mornings
If you're thinking about September 2023 entry or beyond, we’d love to welcome you to one of our Open Mornings during 2022/23 to find out more.

Summer Update
Just now Oak Hill is mostly the colour of straw; the sun has parched many of the lawns and we look to heaven for rain.
That feels true in lots of senses. There are so many challenges on the horizon for us and the churches we seek to serve.
As we look forward, we would love your prayers, as we plan for the next few years in unpredictable and challenging times.
Why church history? For Christian faithfulness now
Church history traditionally sits alongside biblical studies, systematic theology, and practical theology as one of the four main areas for study and reflection. And yet, unlike the other three, which all have a fairly straightforward and obvious relevance for the training of future church leaders, the need for church history sometimes seems less obvious. So, why do we bother with it?
We are eager to send out from Oak Hill women and men who will go out into all the world, into churches, youth groups, inner city estates, crossing cultures locally and nationally, for Jesus Christ with that invitation for anybody and everybody to come to him.”
