Oxford Mission Epiphany Cathedral Church, commonly known as Oxford Mission Church and the Church of Bangladesh Diocese of Barisal is a United Protestant church in Barisal, a southern city in Bangladesh.[2] It is one of the oldest and arguably the second largest church in Asia by land area and the largest Church in Bangladesh.[3] It was built in 1904 as part of the Church of India, Burma and Ceylon, the Anglican province in colonial India, and became a part of the United Protestant Church of Bangladesh at the time of the merger between various Protestant denominations in that country.[4][5]
