We had an incredible time at our first carol service on Sunday - missed out? We’re doing it all again this Sunday night! This is a great opportunity to invite friends to church - doors open at 5.15pm, get there early!

The St Aldates CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT services are always incredible evenings, and this year is no different - with worship led by the @aldatesworship team backed by a choir and chamber orchestra, and mulled drinks and mince pies afterwards, you don’t want to miss out! Both services start at 6pm, this Sunday (9th December) and next (16th December). This is a great service to invite friends and neighbours to, but the church gets pretty full, so if you’re in a large group and you’d like to sit together, make sure to arrive early - see you there!

There's less than a week to go until CAROLS AT THE O2! Christmas is coming and there's no better way to kick off the festive season than to join the team from St Aldates Oxford as we take our epic acoustic carol service on the road for one night only to the O2 Academy, Cowley Road. It's going to be an incredible night of music, spoken word and Christmas magic - tickets are free but going fast!

Here is something you don't want to miss!

After last year's sold out event at the Bullingdon we have upgraded to the O2 for this creative, sparkling celebration of Christmas! Book your free tickets now.

If you want to give your Monday evening an upgrade, head over to St Aldates Church for the worship night at 8pm. This is a special once-a-term evening, an extended time of worship hosted by Jamie, Esther and the St Aldates Worship Team. A chance to encounter God together and explore what he has for us as a worship community.

A day full of bouncy castles, Christmas crafts, games and lots more fun activities!

Today is the final day to get the early bird price for our January Weekend Away: https://guestli.st/579072
142 People have already booked on but there is still room for you! This is a special opportunity to get to know people from all over the church and enjoy a refreshing weekend on the beautiful Hoorwood estate.

Baptism is an incredible gift from God to the church - an outward sign of an inward grace - and Jesus said to his followers, “go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt 28:19). There’s an opportunity to get baptised at St Aldates on 25th November - if you’re thinking about getting baptised or want to know more, contact mark.brickman@staldates.org.uk

The 8.15 Service - passionate worship, relevant bible teaching and deep community in the heart of Oxford. #Oxford #Oxfordshire #worship #church #community #aldates #students #youth

The Vision Night is one of the most exciting events in the St Aldates calendar. Tonight at 8pm in church, we will build a shared vision for the year ahead, get updates on church life, see the unveiling of the epic Citizens and Exiles journal and commit the year to the Lord through prayer and worship. Welcome! (refreshments from 7.45pm)

Wonderful worship and great ministry of the Word. People were very friendly.

When I first walked into the doors of St Aldates I instantly felt at home. St Aldates is a church that brings the power, freedom and life of the Spirit together with the depth and substance of the Word of God and living tradition, worship and prayer. People do really love each other. I thank God for the existence of this church.

We have been going for 17years so I think that says something. We love the worship, community and teaching. God the awesome lover is felt in the services.

Thank you for being our family here in Oxford for the past 4 1/2 years. We are going to miss you all so much.

One of the best Churches in the country.

Believe me, I've visited a fair few in my work travels.

Lovely people and cracking worship and teaching 👍😀

Great church. Lovely people. Beautiful music. Good teaching. A warm welcome. I thoroughly recommend this church to anyone in the central Oxford community
