Who we are
OUR MISSION
Love God.
Love People.
Make A Difference.
At Oasis, we are passionate about the things that Jesus was passionate about. When His disciples asked Him what was the greatest commandment in Matthew 22:37-39, He made it very clear.
​
The Great Commandment
“Jesus replied, love the Lord your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
– Matthew 22:37-39
Jesus goes on to say in verse 40 that all of the prophets and the law hang on these two things.
At Oasis, not only are we very passionate about the Great Commandment, but we are equally committed to the Great Commission.
​
The Great Commission
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
– Matthew 28:19-20
​
Our mission is to Love God, Love People, and Make a Difference. And if we do that, we will be and build disciples of Christ, and therefore live out The Great Commandment and The Great Commission.
WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP?
Sin breaks our close relationship with God. It causes us to fear God and try to live our lives outside of His will.
“The wages of sin is death, BUT the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
“God is on one side and all people are on the other side, and Christ Jesus is between them to bring them together, by giving His life for all mankind.” 1 Timothy 2:5-6 TLB
God has already done His part to restore our relationship to Him. He took the initiative. Now He waits for each of us to individually accept what He has done for us.
One of our primary purposes is to reach people far from God. In addition to that, we believe real life change happens in the context of authentic relationships, which is why we are a church made up of small groups. In the Bible, they worshiped in the temple, but personal ministry happened “house to house.”
“You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would
be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.” Acts 20:20
All of us were created by God to make a difference in the life of another person. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others. We believe your life will never make sense until you find, develop and fulfill that purpose.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Ephesians 2:10
“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, my aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me.”
Acts 20:24
“Now God gives us many kinds of special abilities...There are different kinds of service to God [ministry]...All of you together are the one body of Christ, and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it.”
1 Corinthians 12:4-5, 27 LB
What we Believe
The Church of God believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The Church of God has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement. In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
