Membership
Membership at Oasis means to be fully engaged with our church.
Considering membership? You've come to the right place. We've designed this section of our website to answer your membership questions and actually guide you through the steps to becoming a member. Over the next twenty to thirty minutes, we are going to give you an overview of our mission and ministry strategy. At the end, you will have the opportunity to apply for membership.
As you are about to discover, membership at Oasis Church involves more than simply getting your name on a list. At Oasis - membership is synonymous with involvement.
Specifically, as a member of Oasis you will be called upon to help create, lead, and resource our various ministry environments. Strategic Service and Authentic Community are two of our Core Values. Therefore, we ask that all members be involved in a Life Group environment and serving on a Serving Team.
Life Groups & Serving Teams
If you are new to Oasis and have not connected with a Life Group or a Strategic Service Team we want to help facilitate that process right now. Simply click on either of the links listed below. We will collect some information and then someone will contact you about getting involved in either a group or a Strategic Service Team. After your brief detour to either of these sites come on back and we will walk you through the membership application!
The founding principles of Oasis
As a regular attendee, you've had a front row seat to observe the life-changing mission of Oasis. But we realize that while seeing is believing, just seeing may not have covered it all.
Below we'll give you access to all of the important information you'll need as a member, including our Core Values and Statement of Faith. Finally, you'll have the opportunity to apply for membership online from the comfort of your home or office. In the process, we'll ask about your personal relationship with Jesus Christ as well as your baptism and involvement. We'll also collect some biographical information to make you aware of ministry opportunities designed for your season of life. If at any time you need to take a break, feel free to bookmark your place and return to it later.
Partners
Chances are you are already familiar with many of our ministry environments. No doubt they are a big part of what hooked you to begin with. As a member, we will ask you to move beyond simply participating in these incredible environments. We are going to ask you to partner with us in creating, leading, and funding our environments as well.
Creating relevant, life-changing environments is neither easy nor inexpensive. But with your help, we can continue to impact our community through this unique approach to ministry.
