Community Life | Bishop Oxford Pastoral Charge

Faith Beyond the Walls

Serving Our Neighbours

At Bishop Oxford Pastoral Charge, we believe that the church is not a building, but a community mobilized for love and service. In rural Eastern Ontario, looking out for one another is a way of life, and our programs are designed to strengthen those vital local connections, support the vulnerable, and care for creation.

Community Suppers

Nothing builds fellowship like breaking bread together. Our regular community meals combat rural isolation and provide a warm, welcoming environment for anyone to enjoy good food and great company.

Rural Neighbours Network

A pastoral care initiative focused on visiting and supporting isolated seniors, those recovering from illness, and families in crisis. We provide meals, rides, and a listening ear.

Environmental Stewardship

Honoring our agricultural roots by caring for God's creation. Our community garden projects promote sustainable practices and local food security in the North Grenville area.

Voices of Our Community

"

When my family first moved to the Oxford Mills area, we didn't know anyone. The warm welcome we received at the pastoral charge immediately made us feel at home. It's a true community family.

The joint services between the two congregations are my favorite. Seeing the sanctuaries full and hearing the combined voices in song reminds me of the deep roots of faith here in Bishop's Mills.

— David R., Bishop's Mills
