Online event

Dealing with depression

Thursday: 4 February 2021 7:30pm-9:30pm
Saturday: 6 February 2021 9:30am-11:30am

Depression is common. All of us know people affected by it, and many of us experience it ourselves.

In this session we will find that the Bible has a great deal to say about depression, to people who are depressed and to their carers, and connects at our points of greatest need. We'll also seek to understand how God uses both church and secular means to care for those struggling with depression.

School of Theology

The annual Oak Hill School of Theology is for pastors and teachers seeking to deepen and strengthen their exegetical, biblical, theological and practical grasp of key doctrines, and help them apply what they have learned to ministry in the real world.

Previous events

School of Theology 2020

This was the third and final in a series of three study days on the doctrine of humanity.

In July 2020 the annual Oak Hill School of Theology was hosted live online. The theme of the event was 'Image bearers', looking at the questions: How do we exercise power in ways that honour the image of God in others? How should the church uphold the most vulnerable in our society? What should we make of attempts to “upgrade” humanity with new technologies and the rise of artificial intelligence?

School of Theology 2019

This was the second in a series of three study days on the doctrine of humanity.

Over 100 people gathered for the annual Oak Hill School of Theology in July 2019, which focused on the doctrine of humanity in the 21st century, and our theological and pastoral response to the leading challenges of our times.

‍Our starting point was that the story of humanity in the 21st century is a tragic tale of confusion and anxiety. Who are we? How do we know? What value do we have, and why? What divides and what unites the human race? Are we gods, or cogs in a wheel? Villains or victims?

School of Theology 2018

This was the first in a series of three study days on the doctrine of humanity.

We began by considering the question, ‘Who am I?’ This is fundamentally a theological and pastoral question. It’s one that resonates widely with issues of identity in contemporary culture. Yet without a robust understanding of the biblical teaching on the image of God, we often find ourselves scrambling in the messiness of ministry. Our aim was to make everything we do in ministry – evangelism, preaching, counselling, discipleship – rooted in our doctrine of the imago dei.

"I very much enjoyed this event, it gave me immense food for thought and I will heartily recommend future events to others."
