LESSONS

CHRISTIAN UNIONS

Oxford Schools Chaplaincy provides support for Christian Unions by leading sessions, sourcing volunteers to support regular meetings, meeting with leaders to consider programmes, encouraging teachers to be involved, advising staff/students/CU leaders on different topics as they arise, raising prayer support particularly amongst local churches. 

Christian Unions (CUs) are designed as a place for young people to explore the Christian faith. The groups are usually held during a lunchtime and they are often led by students with support from OSC volunteers and teachers. OSC also offers training and support for all CU leaders, including the opportunity to meet other students who are running similar groups.

ASSEMBLIES

We deliver assemblies on a range of topics including Christmas and Easter. We make our assemblies engaging and thought provoking and  topics are discussed with the school to ensure they are tailored to your needs. 

CHRISTIAN GROUPS

We run Christian groups such as TRUE for Year 6 girls which is a 7 session course, meeting monthly. This group encourages Year 6 female students to think ahead to secondary school life and how being a Christian can make a difference to that experience. These groups have a deliberate inter-church and  inter-school focus. We encourage students to build friendships with other Christians, become more confident as Christians and be involved in Christian Unions.

PRAYER AND REFLECTIVE SPACES

OSC helps to set up prayer networks for schools. We support the work of BeSpace to facilitate prayer and reflective spaces in schools around Oxfordshire. You can find out more about their work here.
