Oak Hill College is a conservative evangelical theological college located on Chase Side in Southgate, London, England. Its aim is to prepare men and women from the Church of England and Independent churches for ministry in the real world.

Overview

[edit]

The College trains men and women from the Church of England and other denominations for ministry in the church and world. This includes for ordination, community work, youth and children's work and world mission. Courses can be full-time or part-time, leading to a Certificate or Diploma of Higher Education or a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Theology.

It has been associated with conservative evangelical theology since its foundation in 1932, and continues to have a strong emphasis on Bible teaching and theology which is then applied to life and ministry. It is an associate college of Middlesex University. The college has links with a theological college in Uganda. The Latimer Trust, an Anglican think tank, is located at Oak Hill Theological College.[2]

Daniel Strange was for a time Acting Principal following the sudden and unexpected death in January 2017 of Revd Michael Ovey who had succeeded Revd David Peterson at the start of the 2007–2008 academic year. Ovey co-authored the book Pierced For Our Transgressions (Leicester: Apollos, 2006) with Steve Jeffery and Andrew Sach. In April 2023, it was announced that James Robson would be the next principal and will take up the post in September 2023.[3]
