Oak Hill Theological College

Oak Hill College is a theological college located on Chase Side in Southgate, London, England. It is one of the largest seminaries in the UK.^[1]

Its students are drawn mainly from the Church of England, mostly ordinands, though an increasing number come from other denominations, and the college trains men and women for a wide range of ministries, including Youth and Children's ministry and World Mission. It has a strong emphasis on preaching, working with the Proclamation Trust, and a growing emphasis on church planting, working with Tim Keller from Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Manhattan.

Oak Hill has been associated with conservative evangelical theology since its foundation in 1932, and continues to have a strong emphasis on Bible teaching as the core aspect of church leadership. It is an associate college of Middlesex University and its current Principal is the Revd Dr Michael Ovey.
