Apostolic Foundations
Apostolic Faith Church of Oxford is a small but growing gathering of followers of Christ from diverse backgrounds. We aim to reflect the love of God in everything that we do. We believe that Jesus Christ came into the world to give us hope. It is this hope that we want to share with everyone. It does not matter your background or your past, there is acceptance available in Christ.
As our name suggests, we stand firm on the Apostle's doctrine once delivered to the Saints with Jesus Christ being the cornerstone. In so doing, God continues to bless us with His presence, confirms His Word, manifests His power and makes us fruitful. See "What we believe" to find out more.
In May 2018, the Church elected Julian D'Oyley as Pastor. We humbly approach the work that God has for us understanding that it is the Lord that gives the increase. As a Church, we want to reach our full potential in Christ.

What we believe
There is only one true God (who is the one Lord) who created all things seen and unseen. God also made man in His own image. We are made to have a relationship with God as well as relationships with others
The greatest commandment of God is: (1) God is one - Love Him with all of your heart, mind and strength and (2) Love your neighbour as yourself.
God has revealed his character in His Word. He inspired people to write the Scriptures that are contained in the Holy Bible
Man now exists in a fallen state which is separated from God in a world that is marred from its original splendor. God can be known through His creation, however, He manifested Himself in Jesus Christ who is the express image of His person.
In Christ, God showed His essential character which is love. Jesus Christ gave His life by dying for our sins, he was buried and was resurrected on the third day. Through His sacrifice for sin, we have access to salvation and abundant life through believing in His work of salvation, confessing Him and accepting Him as Lord.
We must be born again (which is to be born of the water and born of the Spirit) to enter the kingdom of God. This is fulfilled multiple times in the bible where repentance, water baptism in Jesus' name and baptism in the Holy Spirit was the full response of faith to the Gospel message. God has sent us His Holy Spirit so that we can be transformed and made clean.
As it is in the natural, birth is only the beginning, therefore, God (through His Word and by His Spirit) teaches His people and He builds them up. This results in bearing good fruit and becoming mature in love
