Bring joy and the good news of Jesus to children globally by participating in the Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child Gift Drive! This vital ministry shares God's love by delivering your thoughtful gifts to those in need worldwide. You can pick up shoeboxes and labels from the foyer starting this Sunday, October 25th. The gift drive will run for three weeks, with a Christmas Bin provided in the foyer for easy drop-offs. Please ensure your filled shoeboxes are dropped off no later than Sunday, November 15th.

We will be having a membership class Sunday, November 16th after second service with lunch provided! This membership class is not only for those who are interested in becoming members. It is also a great “first step” in getting to know more about Oxford Bible Fellowship! You will hear from several elders about our history, our leadership, our doctrinal statement, and other things that make us distinct from other churches in the Oxford area. Please register to attend here.

Are you a young professional or grad student ready to find your people? Join 20/30 Connect this Friday from 7-9pm for our inaugural Game Night in the OBF Loft! Whether you're into intense strategy games or just looking for some casual fun, come join us for a relaxed evening of board games, card games, and good conversation. It's the perfect zero-pressure way to meet new people in a similar stage of life, connect, and build great friendships within our church. We'll bring the games and snacks—you just bring yourself! If you have more questions about the group or event, email Katie White.

Oops! We had a scheduling conflict and are now gathering from 11am-12:30pm. Let's get in the holiday spirit!

We'll be tying bows, placing wreaths, stringing lights, and enjoying good company. Let's have some fun and serve the church together!
