Oak Hill is eager to resource church leaders and church members, convinced that careful theological reflection supports the worship and ministry of the church. On this page you will discover a whole range of offerings. You can read a blog post or find out about our publications Commentary and Primer. And you can learn about and sign up for our regular events like Equip and our annual School of Theology.
There are opportunities here to spend a few minutes or a few hours digging a little deeper into theology and its significance for ministry. If you’d like to go deeper still, you might be interested in our Flexible Learning modules.
Equip is a series of standalone teaching events designed to help church members and ministry teams connect theology to real life. Each event runs on a Thursday evening and is repeated on a Saturday morning. Until further notice Equip is online, so can be accessed from wherever you are. These high quality and accessible teaching sessions, open up areas such as biblical theology, ethics and discipleship.
Primer is a resource co-published by Oak Hill and FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches) designed to equip and sustain church leaders in theological reflection. Every issue provides an 80-page overview of one topic, covering contemporary debates, historical perspectives and pastoral implications.
The annual Oak Hill School of Theology is for anyone in Christian ministry 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.
If you’re considering ordination within the Church of England, we have drawn together a helpful list of organisations and resources that will help you as you think and pray it through.
Commentary is a free resource published by Oak Hill which provides accessible and engaging reflection on a wide range of cultural, ethical and theological issues.
'Life is a minestrone' sang 10cc, ‘… a mixture of everything we pile in there.’ In this blog piece Oak Hill's Director of Global Mission David Baldwin evaluates globalisation, how it might complicate ministry, and how it could help us embrace new possibilities.
Eric Ortlund reviews Andrew Naselli's book: The Serpent and the Serpent Slayer, which traces that theme across the Bible's storyline, describing it as the reality to which every other dragon-slaying, evil-conquering epic points.
The latest issue of Primer is now available, tackling a very timely topic: the doctrine of humanity.
I loved my time at Oak Hill and think it is a great resource and blessing to the wider church.”
