Oxford Diocesan Board of Finance

The Diocese of Oxford is the Church of England in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Around 2.4m people live in a parish served by our churches and schools. We spend around £29 million each year directly or indirectly supporting the mission and ministry of the Church of England, our schools and partner agencies.

We are a living, growing network of more than a thousand congregations, chaplaincies and schools – supported by our Church House and Area Office teams – all working for the common good in every place in one of the great crossroads of the world. 

Our staff support the parishes in the Diocese of Oxford in a number of ways. This includes providing financial, legal and administrative services, and advising on important areas such as working with children and young people, social justice initiatives, safeguarding, communications, and supporting the 284 church schools in our diocese attended by more than 58,000 children and young people. 

As a diocese, we have a common vision to become a more Christ-like Church – more contemplative, compassionate and courageous for the sake of God’s world. As well as supporting parishes and schools to be the best that they can be, our Church House teams provide a huge range of materials and support to help people live out their everyday faith.
