What does the Bible say about serving?

The Bible says: “It was he (Jesus) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith.”  Ephesians 4:11-13.

 

At Oasis we believe that every member is a minister (a servant).  Serving is using whatever God has given us to serve him and the needs of others.  We serve in 3 directions: to God, to other Christ-Followers and to people who do not have a relationship with God.  

 

The goals of our strategic service teams are to glorify God, to help others grow, and to grow ourselves.

 

 

Why Join a Strategic Service Team?.

 

Mission, Strategy and You

The mission of Oasis is to lead people in a growing relationship with Christ

 

Strategy

This is achieved by creating relevant and irresistible environments where participants are encouraged and equipped to pursue three vital relationships: intimacy with God, community with insiders, influence with outsiders

 

We need you!

Creating these environments require an enormous amount of contribution - and we need your help!   There are numerous teams – so we have a place for you.
