About Oxford Centre For Mission Studies

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
