The Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS) is in the former SS Philip and James Parish Church on Woodstock Road, Oxford, England, opposite Leckford Road.[1] It was established in 1983 by Rev. Vinay Samuel.[2]
The centre exists to provide education for church leaders from the non-Western world. It was founded by mission theologians from Africa, Asia and Latin America. OCMS offers taught Masters courses and PhD/MPhil research degrees. Its degrees are validated by Middlesex University.[3] It is associated with the University of Oxford through the Bodleian Libraries.[4] Many Oxford faculty members also provide supervision for PhD/MPhil research degrees.[5] OCMS is a charity.[6]
