From its humble
beginnings in 1999, Oasis was determined that it would be a
different kind of church, a church for people who felt
alienated from traditional churches, a church for the
unchurched.
Despite its
growth, Oasis has never been about buildings,
equipment or numbers, its mission is to lead people in a
growing relationship with Christ, by creating relevant and
irresistible environments where people are encouraged and
equipped to pursue the three vital relationships: intimacy
with God, community with insiders, influence with outsiders.
By the end of
2003, the congregation had become too large for their
property on Cathcart street (currently the churches' offices
and location for midweek activitites). With a packed auditorium each week, an
additional service was added, extra parking spots were
secured and further renovations were made to the children’s
area.
In 2005, after searching for 2 years for a solution to their growth -
Oasis moved their Sunday Gatherings to their current
location at Charleswood
School, providing more space for the church family to grow.
