Renew Oxford

22/12/2025

As we come towards the end of 2025 there is much to give thanks for, including the completion of the mapping project, a successful Renew Oxford event, and the forming of new working groups. Looking ahead we're forming a new steering group to explore new opportunities and co-ordinate our activities. Thank you for being part of the journey, and we look forward to seeing what lies ahead.

Last Saturday, representatives from more than 30 churches gathered to celebrate how Oxford’s congregations serve the city, and to help shape what comes next.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to meaningful conversations about how we can better meet the needs of our city.

We were also honoured to hear from guests who brought valuable insights from their roles in public service:

Leonard Sackey, Oxford City Council
Neil Preddy, Oxfordshire Homeless Movement
Mike Farley, Transform Lincoln
Jacqui Gitau, African Families in the UK
Sasha East, The GateHouse Oxford

We left the day feeling inspired, united, and hopeful for the action that will follow.

"When churches collaborate, we've seen lives changed and systems impacted by our shared Christian witness," says Mike Farley.

Mike has been part of Transform Lincoln since its launch in 2017. A former teacher and Senior Pastor, he now serves as Lead Community Connector for Bridge Church, in alliance and partnership with NHS Lincolnshire.

He will join us at 'Together For Oxford', where Oxford churches will gather to discuss how we can serve our city in even greater ways.

'Together For Oxford' will take place on 18 October, at 9 am, at The King's Centre.
