Our vision is to see the global church equipped to participate in the realisation of God’s transforming mission through research and applied scholarship. Whether church or mission leaders, scholars, or practitioners, OCMS exists to bring the understanding and practice of mission into two-way conversation with scholarship, so that the church, in all its rich, global diversity, grows in fruitful, faithful witness to the Lordship of Christ in every sphere of life. Our Focus Areas Our goal is to build reflective practitioners equipped to serve the church globally, as it participates in God’s whole-life mission. We do this in four key ways: EQUIPPING We aim to: Equip God-fearing, servant leaders to become thought leaders in their culture & context Enable mission practitioners and scholars, particularly from the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe, to develop fresh understanding and practice through relevant and engaged research in service of the Church We do this through: PhD programme Guided Research Programme Integrated Mission Leadership Programme Partnership development programme with institutions around the world RESEARCH We aim to: Respond to questions and issues identified by the church with timely, strategic and rigorous research Leverage OCMS’ position as a global hub to prioritise focused mission research that will Support the development of authentic local and cross-cultural mission practices We do this through: The research of our faculty, students and research associates The OCMS Forum for Faithful Witness and research clusters

Cuddesdon College was established in 1854 by Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, whose vision was for a college independent of any specific Church faction, and with a focus on the discipline of daily prayer and spiritual formation. A merger with Ripon Hall in the 1970s, forming Ripon College Cuddesdon, brought in new resources and fresh thinking, and helped develop a new and open approach to theological study. The incorporation of the Oxford Ministry Course in 2006 (now the Part-time Pathway), the West of England Ministerial Training Course in 2011 (now Cuddesdon Gloucester & Hereford) and the Portsmouth Pathway Cuddesdon in 2015 has enabled the College to offer a wide range of outstanding part-time courses that have been well established for over forty years. From 2014, a partnership with Church Mission Society has enabled us to offer training for Ordained Pioneer Ministers. The Cuddesdon Sisters In 2012, the remaining Sisters from two Anglican religious orders - Communities of St John Baptist and The Good Shepherd - joined the College community, providing a praying presence throughout the year. Sadly, due to the pandemic, they moved in the autumn of 2020 to St Mary's Convent and Nursing Home in Chiswick. We miss them being here greatly but keep in close contact with them.
