We are a church with a strong sense of place, committed to representing Christ on the Risinghurst estate. Despite our limited numbers, we run a range of community activities, including a lunch club for the elderly and a drop-in centre.

On the first Sunday of the month we worship at 10.00 a.m. and have all-age worship in the hall. This service has lots of activities, visual aids, strong but simple songs, and usually a very short sermon. It suitable for all those of who want a lively, informal style of worship.

We currently have very few children, and therefore do not have a regular junior church. However, we are keen to restart a junior church. If you are visiting us with children (other than on the first Sunday of the month), please let us know in advance and we should be able to arrange for one of our junior church leaders to provide activities for the children.

We are committed to working ecumenically with other Christians. We choose to share our buildings with three other congregations, worshipping in Korean, Punjabi and Portuguese, and are active members of Churches Together in Headington.

We are not a niche church, serving one age-group, social class or people of a certain outlook. We believe, as Timothy Radcliffe, says that "no community of like minded is a sign of the kingdom of God". For us the sign of the Kingdom is when people who have nothing else in common sit down to share bread and wine
