Oasis 101: Our Culture Rob McNabb: Saturday, Nov 8 10:00 am
Have you noticed that Oasis is unlike a traditional church? Though some have wondered at times, in fact we're not different simply for the sake of being different. We feel called to provide a safe place where people can discover deeper relationships with Jesus Christ, whatever their history. That philosophy has resulted in a unique ministry signature for Oasis, as we have intentionally created an environment for doing the ministry God has called us to here in Clark County

Join us this weekend as we continue Oasis 101, a 4-part class that is designed to clearly explain who and what our church is. During these four sessions, you'll learn more about our unique history, our driving philosophies and values, our strategy, and the ideals that we strive for as a community of faith. The purpose of this class is to help you better understand what Oasis is all about and why we do what we do, so that you can be more effective yourself in your own ministry at Oasis.
