Overview & Tickets
Summer Conference 2025
July 19 @ 9:30 am - 5:30 pm
£80.00 – £180.00
Christians claim to have solid hope, but it’s easy to feel that the chaos is winning. In our current cultural moment with all its confusion and questions, we want to equip you to consider and respond to the challenges the world is facing today.
At OCCA, we have a deep conviction that God has revealed himself and given us truth, most clearly in the person of Jesus Christ. In recent years there has been a new openness to hearing the Christian point of view. The time we’re living in presents the church with a unique opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world.
Conference Schedule
The Confident Faith Conference is a day for you to engage with significant and difficult topics from a Christian perspective. Our hope is that you will come away from the conference encouraged and challenged to think more deeply about what you believe, and to have more courage to engage in positive conversations with people of different beliefs.

FAQs
How do I get to the Oxford Union?
Public transport is the easiest way to arrive. We recommend using one of the Park and Ride options – the venue is very near the main bus station.
If you come by train, you’ll have a 10-minute walk from Oxford Station. (Don’t confuse that with Oxford Parkway, from which you’ll need to get a bus or another train.)
Is there parking available?
Unfortunately there is no parking at the venue, but it is only a short walk from the Car Park in the Westgate Shopping Centre. There are very few disabled parking spots in Central Oxford, so you’ll need to plan ahead.
Will I be fed?
Yes, we will make sure that you’re well looked after and we will be catering for most dietary requirements. We will be providing refreshments throughout the day and we recommend that you bring a water bottle or reusable coffee cup.
What if I can’t afford a ticket?
We want this conference to be available to everyone. If the cost is barrier for you, please get in touch about a bursary. Some people will choose to pay extra to allow others to come at a discount.
