I started going to Oasis 3 years ago and now I am an Oasis addict! I remember the first time I met Dustin he had this big smile, like he was so happy to see me, and I thought to myself, there's a friendly young guy and then I found out he was the pastor ! The following week he said "Hey Rob hows it going ? Great to have ya back" and I instantly felt right at home. Everyone there treats you like family. The services are upbeat, the messages are wonderful, there is laughter, great music, coffee and treats, videos on the big screen, its a real live performance. The lights are turned right down when you walk in and you can sit at a table in the back or grab a seat anywhere. Its like a room full of people who dont know each other but it seems like everyone has known each other for years. If you've been thinking about going to Oasis but are shy or nervous, then this place truly was designed for you. Don't wait any longer, come join the fun. By the way, I am a member of the tear down team since about my 5th visit and stay approx 90 min after every service to help out, purely because I absolutely love it. I did not grow up going to Church and am only sorry I waited 40 years to go. Oasis gave me what I had been missing in my life. From what I hear there is no other...
Read moreI adore Oasis, I just can't say enough great things about the church.
Although services are in a school, the minute you walk inside, you forget you're not in a typical church building -- and you're totally enveloped by the wonderful people and the awesome setup of the stage, lights, and video screens. The production staff does an amazing job making each service dynamic and interesting.
The music is another piece that drew me in instantly when I first discovered Oasis. Modern, current, live music performed by members of the community is such a plus. Wesley Weiss and the music team are all so talented, they put so much heart and soul into every single song they sing, week after week. It's one of my favourite parts of the service!
But most importantly, let's not forget about Pastor Dustin Funk -- his easy-going, down-to-earth manner makes each Sunday's message entertaining and enlightening. I always leave feeling renewed in my faith journey and re-inspired to live...
Read moreMatthew (Matthew 18:12-14) and Luke (Luke 15:3-7). Illustrate God's love and active pursuit of those who are lost or have strayed from Him. When I was at my lowest, battling depression and my mental health was on a downwards slide. I was asked to leave the Life Group I was a part of and was told by the Oasis community "we can't do it for you"..... This mentality is not the right mentality for the church I choose to worship in and tithe to. The pastor and Group at my new church have prayed for me, come to my house for communion, came to my house with special prayers and have counseled me out of depression and back on track in my faith practices. THEY DID IT FOR ME. Maybe Oasis' pastoral team, volunteers and Life Group leaders need to change some practices, because abandonment is not a Godly act. You all are role...
