Founded as a 'Test School' for potential ordination candidates to be educated to matriculation standard in 1928, it became a recognised as full Theological College in 1932. [2] It was founded by Charles Baring Young, and continues to be part of his Kingham Hill Trust. [3]
It has been associated with conservative evangelical theology, and continues to have a strong emphasis on Bible teaching and theology which is then applied to life and ministry. All the programmes are validated by Durham University as part of the Common Awards Scheme. The college has links with a theological college in Uganda. The Latimer Trust, an Anglican think tank, is located at Oak Hill Theological College. [4]
In September 2023 James Robson took up the post of Principal. [5] Daniel Strange was for a time Acting Principal following the sudden and unexpected death in January 2017 of Revd Michael Ovey who had succeeded Revd David Peterson at the start of the 2007–2008 academic year. Ovey co-authored the book Pierced For Our Transgressions (Leicester: Apollos, 2006) with Steve Jeffery and Andrew Sach.
