Oxford Centre For Mission Studies Information

OCMS is an independent Christian education charity, based in the beautiful and ancient city of learning in Oxford, England. Truly international in its leadership, fully interdenominational in its reach, and deeply evangelical from its roots to its mission, OCMS brings together members of the worldwide church under one roof to research, reflect and respond to challenges faced across cultures and in the varying economic, social and political contexts in which Christians worship and witness. For more than thirty years church leaders, mission and development professionals, and global Christian scholars have sought to better understand how to bring the transforming nature of their faith to effect change in the lives of those they serve. Whether through PhD level research, writing and publishing, cutting-edge mission consultations or individual guided research, the goal is to build reflective practitioners equipped to serve the church as it participates in God’s whole-life mission.
