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.
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 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.
If you're thinking about September 2024 entry or beyond, we’d love to welcome you to one of our Open Mornings during 2023/24. They are designed to help you think about the importance of theological training for ministry and to discover how we prepare people for the broad and deep demands of ministry. So whatever stage you're at, come along so we can share our vision for training, introduce you to some students, and give you a flavour of life at Oak Hill.
Dr Robin Barfield has been appointed to serve in the newly created part-time post of ‘Lecturer in Practical Theology and Support for Digital Pedagogies’ at Oak Hill College.
Robin has previously been a visiting lecturer in Children’s, Youth and Family Ministry at Oak Hill. His teaching has been tremendously well-received by students, and so College is delighted that he is joining us in this new role.
Our recent podcast episode considered the idea of characterisation in John’s Gospel – asking how does John invite us to consider the role different characters play in the Gospel and how is he forming us as readers through that?
In this post we’ll share some of the major works that can help dig deeper into these things.
Oak Hill College is thrilled to announce that Dr Chris Howles has been appointed to the role of Director of Cross-Cultural Training.
Chris comes to Oak Hill with twelve years’ experience serving at the Uganda Martyrs Seminary in Kampala, latterly as Head of Theology. He will take up his role in January 2024, working through to summer 2024 alongside David Baldwin, the current Director of Global Mission.
In our lost and broken world, the Church needs men and women who can listen humbly, think deeply, believe faithfully, trust completely, rejoice constantly, proclaim courageously, communicate clearly, lead authentically, love compassionately and serve wholeheartedly. We are delighted at Oak Hill to serve the Church by helping women and men do just that.”
