Study this summer at historic Oxford The summer session of The King’s University at Oxford University is part of its global vision. It is a time to not only experience life changing teaching on practical, relevant issues facing the Church today, but it exposes the student to the journey of Christendom through the intellectual, historical, and spiritual paths of the oldest surviving university in the English speaking world. What a lifechanging experience!
This year we will reside at St. Anne’s College. This outstanding college was founded in 1879 as the first Oxford college with the express vision to educate women. It has been coed since 1979 and is now one of Oxford’s largest colleges. One of the highlights of our time there will be the morning worship services which includes a devotional message from selected students. Join me this summer in the historic town of Oxford, casually tour the thirty plus colleges of Oxford University, enjoy the beauty of the river-scenes which wind through the city, and experience challenging times of study at the magnificent St. Anne’s College, Oxford. Students will gain insights into the challenges of doing ministry in a culture in transition that continues to drift from its’ Judeo-Christian foundations. Our curriculum is designed to inspire and encourage the individual for more effective ecclesiastical, evangelistic, and social ministry. Particular emphasis will be placed on the call to holiness and integrity in the life of the servant of God.
The course of study is designed to both confront and challenge the present mindset of those in ministry. The sessions will include significant dialogue, discussion and participation from students from a wide range of ministry experience. Our students come from mega churches to church plants; lead pastors to local church leaders; academicians to secular entrepreneurs. This mixture of spiritual, practical and ministerial experience blend into an exhilarating setting of which inspires, encourages and enriches each participant.
