Our History

The local church in Oxford was formed in 1963. It is one of approximately 130+ other branches in the denomination spread across the UK. Our international headquarters (called Church of God) is in Cleveland, Tennessee USA, with churches in 180 countries and a membership of over 7 million. Our denomination may be described as protestant, evangelical, charismatic and Pentecostal. Our aim is to worship God, minister to one another and reach out to our community. Our vision is to be a church that embraces all nations living within the community, sharing the Good News and assisting in meeting their needs wherever possible. We endeavour to do this by living out the following core values.

Our Mission

To give ourselves to God in worship, to one another in love, so that we can reach, restore and disciple the lost.

Our Beliefs

The NTCG believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The NTCG has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine.

We Believe:

1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
5. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
6. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
7. Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
8. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
9. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
10. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
11. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
12. In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
13. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
14. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

  4. To be a church that is present and active in its community responding to its needs.
  5. To be a church that is passionate about reaching the lost and being effective witness for Jesus; welcoming the outcasts, marginalised and ministering to the less fortunate; offering healing and restoration.
