Ripon College Cuddesdon

Welcome to Cuddesdon. Ripon College Cuddesdon and the Oxford Ministry Course train men and women for ordination in the Church of England through a broad and deep range of creative and engaging courses. We offer a wide range of residential and non-residential programmes to suit students from different stages of life, personal circumstances and academic abilities.

The College is a centre of excellence in training and research, enabling and equipping creative and competent leaders of worship prepared for everything they will encounter in the church and in the world. We are a place of genuine community where generosity and hospitality is practised in the context of prayer and reflection.

Our strength comes from the acceptance of diversity and we have students from across the breadth of church traditions. This gives us a unique role in encouraging open dialogue and producing future church leaders who can work within their own traditions and also mediate between them at all levels - locally, nationally and internationally.

With knowledgeable and caring staff as well as loving and supportive fellow ordinands, Cuddesdon is a great place to train for ordination. Dom Whitting, residential student
