About
Exploring faith and making a difference
We’re passionate about helping people explore and deepen their faith, and about making a positive difference in our communities. Connect Groups are the main way we do that at Emmanuel Church.
Connect Groups gather 15-35 people each week to build community and contribute to the flourishing of Oxford life. They gather around a common cause - a people, a place, or a passion.
Whether you are interested in serving a particular area of the city, helping a people group or demographic to explore questions of faith, or collaborating with others who care about a similar cause, we hope that in time there will be a group for you.
See below to find out more about and to get in touch with the group leaders, or email connectgroups@emmanueloxford.org for more information about Connect Groups in general.
