Breadth and depth: equipping you
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.

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.
