Oxford Street Pastors

Tonight, our Team heads out into the city centre on the final Friday before Christmas. We are there to offer a calm presence, a listening ear and practical help to anyone who needs it.

We are reminded that this season is about love, kindness and hope - right where people are.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers, who give up their evening to serve and thank you to all our supporters.

Please keep our team and our city in your prayers as Christmas approaches ❤️🙏

Street Pastors is a non-denominational, Christian response to urban problems. By engaging with people on the streets, Street Pastors volunteer their time to care, listen and converse with anyone who may need support. Street pastors are from all walks of life aged between 18 and 80+.

This informal information evening is for anyone thinking about becoming a street pastor. You will find out more about the street pastor movement, what they do and the different situations they face when on patrol. You will also learn about the training involved and have the opportunity to chat to our team.

If you are looking for an exciting new challenge for 2016 come along! For more information contact Anna Simpson 01869 345183
