We are a city-wide network of churches that want to see Oxford healthy and flourishing in every aspect of life: socially, spiritually, culturally, physically and economically.
As Christians, the source of our life together is the love of God, revealed in Jesus. This love draws us to God, shapes the way we live, and moves us to love others generously.
We believe we are stronger together and we join with one another in friendship, prayer and shared activity, knowing that this is how we make our best contribution to the common good of all people in our city. Join us as we love Oxford — together!

What we do

We pursue relationship as leaders of churches across the city, to inspire one another, to pray, to learn from and to support each other, and to share important information.

partnership
We work together to bless our churches and our city through supporting existing collaborations and catalysing new ones, and we serve as a shared point of contact for our city’s leaders.
WHo we are
We are a growing network of churches across the city of Oxford. Our purpose is to create deeper connection between leaders and congregations for the good of the city, and we have these shared values:
We are relational
We make time to forge authentic relationships with one another, and we choose connection over isolation.
We are Prayerful
We are glad to depend upon God for all our needs. We pray for one another and for all people in our city.
We are generous
We reflect God’s abundance by sharing our resources, time, and blessings with others, seeking their good at our expense.
We are honouring
We recognise all people are made in the image of God and treat everyone with love and respect – even, indeed especially, when there are differences between us.
We love to welcome any new member churches who agree with our basis of unity. If you and your church are interested in joining in, please contact the chair of our Steering Group at chair@loveoxford.org
