Chaplaincy

Oxford University is a richly diverse community, and students and members of staff will find a wide variety of places and forms of religious worship in and around the City centre.

College Chaplains, Chapels and chaplaincy for all faiths and none are operating in colleges and across the University. Please check individual college chapel, student faith societies or faith chaplains' websites for precise details of activities, groups and worship including choral services to ascertain local arrangements.

A list of those contact details can be found immediately below this text as well as on the student faith societies webpage

If you have religious needs or particular needs for a forthcoming faith celebration then please get in touch with the relevant chaplain or college chapel/ faith contact as early as possible so they can support you as appropriate at this time. If you are unsure who to contact, email any college chaplain and they will be only too glad to signpost and assist as the chaplains enjoy good collaborative relationships across all denominations and faiths and meet together on a regular basis.

Oxford is a superb University and city in which to explore faith. We hope you relish the opportunities afforded in this diverse community with its rich heritage, where so many faiths co-exist peacefully and enjoy serving the needs of the local community.
