The building was built as South Oxford Baptist Church in 1938 as a daughter church of the Baptist Church in the city centre, which had closed the previous year. It was later re-named South Oxford Christian Centre and is used by the South Oxford Baptist Church, The Salvation Army and the United Asian Baptist Church.
The Salvation Army moved here in 2008, having been operational in Oxford since 1881. Previously they had smaller premises in St Ebbes in the city centre. Services are held on Sunday mornings. The church also operates a Friendship and Lunch Club for older people on Wednesdays.

Geocaching Etiquette. geocaching.com states under 'Help Center' in Paragraph 1.7: 'We like to keep things fun for everyone, so we have a few rules we encourage everyone to follow. Sign both the logbook and log your find online to get your smiley. Geocache owners love reading about your experience'. There are more rules, but this is the first one. This cache owner requests that if on the rare occasion geocachers are unable to sign, an explanation is given in their log. A photo of the cache, if possible should then be sent through the messaging system.
