WE ARE A PEOPLE AND A PLACE OF HOPE AND HEALING

We invite you to join the vibrant, family-friendly congregation of Oxford Circle Mennonite Church as we passionately participate in prayer, worship and holistic ministry in the diverse Northeast Philadelphia community…so that our God can be exalted!

RECONCILING

Our foundation is built on the reconciling power of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We seek to be a healing balm among our members and in our community. We place our lives, families, vocations and perspectives in God’s hands to be transformed.

MULTIETHNIC

Our identity in Christ compels us to extend His saving power to all nations, cultures and peoples. We believe the Biblical idea that all are one in Christ when we submit to Him. We seek to demonstrate this through celebrating each others’ culture in accordance with the Scriptures.

COMMUNITY

We seek to go beyond family, ethnic, cultural and language ties to live as a diverse family that is a work in progress. We attempt to reflect this through our corporate worship, fellowship, leadership, ministries and sharing our homes with one another.

In 1946, a Sunday School outreach was started by a Mennonite family living in Oxford Village, a public housing development in Northeast Philadelphia. As interest grew for a congregation, Mennonites, with the help of their local mission board, purchased a nearby lot and built Oxford Circle Mennonite Church (OCMC). In 1999, a leadership change took place which coincided with a time of rapidly changing demographics in the community. In reflection of these changes, more community residents began attending OCMC and we are excited to see God continuing to grow the congregation, both physically and spiritually, into a thriving, community church. Today we are a Christ-centered, diverse community of approximately 100 believers.

In the early 2000s, our congregation increasingly engaged with our neighbors through hosting a Community Festival and partnering with Oxford Village (public housing site) to provide a children’s Summer Education Program. In addition, our church has served as a host for Narcotics Anonymous, participated in the local soup kitchen, and partnered to provide a neighborhood Farm Market. Through such efforts, our congregation began to see the need to develop a holistic, community ministry to better serve our neighbors. This led to the creation of the Oxford Circle Christian Community Development Association (OCCCDA), which is housed in the second floor of our church building.
