Evangelism
We believe that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation and we are committed to fulfil the commandment of Jesus to share the Good News of God's Love. Church members are involved in a variety of outreaches in Barton and the Oxford town centre, in conjunction with people from other churches, such as Healing on the Streets. Many thousands of our Good News leaflets have been distributed by church members throughout Oxford. The church also helps to support two lay-evangelists, one who works with youth in Oxford and the other ministering to students in the city.Y.O.B (Youth On Barton). Since 2006 we have had a team working every other Saturday on the Barton Estate. Providing various activities for young people of all ages, with sports, games and even cookery. The work of Y.O.B., alongside other Christian groups on the estate has had a postive impact on the local community.

Youth
Youth ChurchFor ages, 13-16. We appreciate the special challenges and many pressures that teenagers face in their formative years. Youth Church provides the chance for them to ask the difficult questions about life and find the answers they need. We seek to inspire our young people to follow Christ, when often the pressure from their peers and the world around them would pull them in wrong directions. By equipping them with the Word of God they discover that the Bible is relevant to their lives, providing a firm foundation for a successful life.
Youth Church is provided for every Sunday morning Service, after the praise and worship. On occasion the young people go out into town to share their faith on the streets. They have also prepared short dramas to present to the church.
In addition there are outings for Youth Church, whether its a social meal or something more educational, such as a trip to the British Museum. In the Summer a group travel to Somerset for the Soul Survivor camp where they enjoy worship, fellowship and teaching with thousands of other young people.
