Oxford Presbyterian Church

About this church

Oxford Presbyterian Church gathers for in-person and online worship Sundays at 11:00 a.m. at 8501 Stenton Avenue in Philadelphia. A Wednesday prayer and Bible study begins at 7:00 p.m. The congregation describes itself as called to serve God in communion with God’s people, connecting weekly worship with education, prayer, and engagement in the surrounding community.

Oxford’s history reaches back to 1867, when the congregation was formally organized by the Fourth Presbytery of Philadelphia after an earlier Sunday School effort. It later moved to its present neighborhood, developed classrooms and gathering spaces, and shared part of the property with the Presbytery of Philadelphia. Current ministries include Sunday School and confirmation, prayer, and a Literacy ED adult program listed Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. That combination makes the church relevant not only to Sunday visitors but also to adults seeking a weekday learning connection. The 11:00 service is the clearest first visit, while Wednesday offers a smaller prayer-and-study setting. Because leadership transitions and community programs can affect the weekly calendar, consult the official worship and calendar pages before attending a weekday activity.
