Christ Church is unique in that our College Chapel is also a Cathedral, and you are warmly invited to share in the regular rhythm of prayer, and also the special events and services that take place throughout the term. The chaplaincy is a welcoming, joyful and inclusive Christian community, and you are welcome to come along to any services/events. The Chaplain will be very pleased to help any student of any faith to find a place to worship, or to connect with a faith community in Oxford. Here is a comprehensive link to the many faith communities on the university and the city: https://edu.admin.ox.ac.uk/faith-societies. You can find out more about the Faith Provision at Church here.
