Welcome to Back to the Roots of the Gospel

We are a vibrant Christian community in Oxford dedicated to discovering, living, and sharing the foundational truths of Jesus Christ.

Rooted in truth, living in love

Whether you are asking big questions about life or looking for a home church in Oxford, you are warmly invited to join us for our next gathering.

Rev. Arnoldt is one of the most welcoming, open, and uplifting people I have had the privilege of learning from. He showed genuine interest in my situation and shows that he cares about the people he teaches and he always makes you feel valued and encouraged. His passion for sharing the Word of God is clear, and his messages are both inspiring and practical. His wife, Thelma, is also very inspirational! A true messenger of God!
I’m truly grateful for their guidance, kindness, and the way they lead with love and sincerity.

Rev. Arnoldt is one of the most welcoming, compassionate, and uplifting people I have had the privilege of learning from. From the beginning, he showed genuine interest in my situation and demonstrated a sincere concern for the people he teaches. His kindness, encouragement, and willingness to listen always made me feel valued and supported.

His passion for sharing the Word of God is evident in everything he does. His messages are both inspiring and practical, offering wisdom and encouragement that can be applied to everyday life. His dedication to teaching and serving others is truly admirable.

His wife, Thelma, is equally inspirational. Together, they are a wonderful example of faith, love, humility, and sincere service to others. Their lives and ministry reflect a genuine desire to encourage people and draw them closer to God.

I am truly grateful for their guidance, kindness, and encouragement. Their willingness to lead with love, sincerity, and faith has made a meaningful impact on my life. They are both a true blessing and wonderful messengers of God.
