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 Podcast or Primer publication. 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.
Join Tim Ward and Eric Ortlund for monthly conversations about theology and ministry. Available now on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music & Audible.
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. These high quality and accessible teaching sessions, open up areas such as biblical theology, ethics and discipleship.
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.
