 Oxnam Online

Welcome to Oxnam Online! It a great privilege and joy to welcome you to this ‘virtual’ place where we can be gathered in heart, mind, and spirit for prayer.

While the COVID-19 crisis is one reason for our current physical distance, the great diversity of the Wesley Seminary community means that there are many times when some of us are not able to be present in person at Oxnam Chapel. This webpage is a place for us to accompany one another in prayer, not matter where we find ourselves. You will find here resources for daily prayer, a prayer wall, and several past worship services from Oxnam Chapel, on Wesley’s Campus.

Whenever and wherever we worship, we remember that we are never alone. We are gathered with one another in prayer and with Christians across the world and throughout time in the presence of our living God. Thank you for joining us in prayer. We are so glad that you are here!

First Chapel Service 2022

The Word With Us

No matter where we go, the Word is "with us always, to the end of the age" (Mt. 28:20). Come back here each Tuesday morning of the semester for a reflection on the Word from a member of our Wesley Theological Seminary community!

Worship with the Arts

As Hermann Hesse once wrote, "Art [is] revealing God behind all things." Come back each Thursday morning of the semester and join our Wesley artists to pray through dance, music, and the visual arts.
