Do you want to be known, supported and championed? 

“They’re committed to your growth.”

You won’t get lost in the crowd this year. Our School of Ministry’s leaders will intentionally accompany you along the way — people who know your name, your story, and your questions. They’re committed to your growth.

At every stage, a team member will come alongside you, shoulder to shoulder. This is a space to try, to learn, to fail safely, and to grow.

Placements

  • We’re passionate about seeing families grow closer to each other and to Jesus, and to see kids and young people, the rising generation, discover who God is. Help make this happen by working with our team to lead both our Sunday Kids and Youth sessions, and midweek groups.

  • There are over 40,000 Undergraduate and Postgraduate students that come to Oxford every year to live and learn. We want to give every student the opportunity to find home in our church, and be formed by Jesus for a life of purpose. Get involved in running our student nights, small groups and supporting students one-to-one.

  • Oxford is known across the world for its breath-taking beauty and ancient university. But every night people sleep rough on the pavements beneath its famous spires. Our ACT team are building a community where the homeless, prisoners, ex-offenders and others are transformed and set free to become all they were intended to be. This challenging placement will embed you in the team as you help to run our drop-in sessions, community houses, food provision and more.

  • People have been worshipping at St Aldates for over 1,000 years. Our Worship team, led by Lauren Harris and Kaka Nwokocha not only lead worship at our church but seek to serve the local church through song-writing and providing training for other worship pastors. Our Production team cover sound, lighting, cameras and visuals, both for those in the building but also for our livestream.

  • Do you love photography, videography, social media, web-design or graphic design? Then this could be the placement for you – our in-house team works to shoot, edit, design and publish all our content, to enable us to communicate with our church family and tell people about Jesus.

  • Alpha is a series of group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. Work alongside the team making Alpha happen!
